I know Bush had his own list of catastrophes; other Presidents did as well. Again, my point is not trying to adjudicate relative culpability, but rather just to remind us all how and why Obama dived over 20 points in the polls in just 11 months—and his speeches transformed from inspirational to caricatures.
In short, taken together, after nearly a year, these fissures have nearly ruined the once pretty texture of the Obama administration, and almost rendered it incapable of effective governance.
Here is a random selection. I provide no chronology or theme. Nor do I judge the relative importance of any one incident. The point, again, is only that each was a fissure, some small, some major—all were glued over. The result is that now the public understands that its china presidency is fragile and held together by mere glue.
Here it goes:
Constant apologies abroad for everything from slavery to Hiroshima
Bows to Saudi royalty, the Japanese emperor, and Chinese autocrats
The on-again/off-again Guantanamo shut-down mess
The fight with the former CIA directors
The public show trial of Khalid Sheik Mohammed
The reach out to Ahmadinejad Castro, Chavez, and assorted thugs....

He’s a puppet whose strings are being pulled by traitors. And, it’s now obvious.

I think that has something to do with it...buyer’s remorse for electing a marxist pig in a poke...
Because of the people he surounded himself with. Seriously, he is surround by the most unlikeable, easily despisable people of any president I can think of.
In a free country, free people essentially want to be left alone to pursue their private dreams.
They expect their politicians to take care of the street paving and garbage pickup and keep the goths from burning and pillaging and otherwise stay out from under foot.
They don’t want someone who thinks his destiny is to take over everyone’s life and remake America in his image. And they don’t want someone who is going to drone on and on and not shut up.
Do your job. Stop trying to be Dear Leader. Keep your hand out of our pockets. Stop trying to tell us how to run our business.
But for most people it's the economy and maybe the debt/deficit.
Because he’s a marxist occupier hell-bent on destroying America for the next 3 generations?
Americans don’t want some political thug destroying their kids future.
He isn’t American enough to understand what it means to BE an American.
Personally, I’m tired of seeing his big dumbo ears several times a week.
Alex, I'll take treasonous communist rat bastards for $100.
Everything he does is a big televised event. sick of him trying to spin and blame the ?inherited? mess. It is really getting old
I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I ...
And Michelle.
I change the channel and/or mute TV or radio...the sound and sight of him grieves my spirit.
That's the problem right there. The asshat's on TV every eff'ing day, and even the people who were fooled into voting for him are sick of it.
From what can see I don’t think that they are. I used the term “they” instesd of “we” because I was never infauted with the sob and he is not my president. That being said, I was eating at a Maryland Fried Chicken place and there was one table with an older white man sitting there eating and by the wall there was a table with two younger white men sitting at it. They begin conversing with each other and soon the conversation led to how bad President Bush was and how brilliant and great obama is and what a good job obama was doing. It was still going along on these lines when I left.
Fools never learn. He fooled enough of them the last election. He will fool enough of them the next election/
I was tired of him the first time I heard of him
That's going to leave a skid mark.
That and a whole lot more. But it’s an excellent piece.
As he says, some items are more important than others, but it gets tiresome when you have a guy in the White House who can do NOTHING right. Then even the little things start to mount up.
For instance, it’s not really all that important that Michelle looks like something that crawled out of a bad fashion magazine, but when the press all announce and agree that she is the best dressed and most beautiful woman in the world, then you have to wonder about their sanity.
Why Are We Tiring of Obama?
Because he turned out to be the President that those of us who voted against him knew he would be, not the one his supporters were lead to believe he would be.
Obama is like an emissary from another World of Political and Economic Interests, who deigns to “stop in on us” periodically, and give a speech or two, between his far more pressing engagements with the rest of the planet, especially, symbolically, the Islamic World.
Eventually the cognitive dissonance will start to set in even amongst his supporters, that something is not right, not right at all, with this man being President of the United States. The enthusiasm will be replaced, yes, by
tiredness, and soon thereafter, the tiredness by confusion,
then confused anger, then probably a brief period of indifference, then,a little sobering up as next years elections rob them of their majority, and, at last, the final two phases, glum forebearance and they clench their jaws ,and finally resentfullness at him but also themselves with how stupid they were to elect him. THe last phase , a year and a half down the road, will be “HOW MUCH LONGER DO WE HAVE TO WAIT BEFORE THIS GUY IS GONE?????”
