Where did Obama go wrong?

The week after his reelection, President Obama was a man full of promise and promises: His job-approval rating stood at 54 percent, the 2010 tea party wave that had knocked his first term off balance appeared to have receded, and he seemed as sober about the future as he was hopeful.

“With respect to the issue of mandate, I’ve got one mandate . . . to help middle-class families and families that are working hard to try to get into the middle class,” he said at a news conference in the East Room of the White House in November 2012. Obama acknowledged the dangers of “presidential overreach in second terms,” but he put forward an expansive, legacy-building agenda: a major fiscal deal, immigration reform and action on climate change.

Wrong question. One should ask: “Did he ever go right?”

It’s sad that supposedly-intelligent people even have to ask this question...

Some people have no idea where they went wrong, or if they were just unlucky:

Obama supporters are even more more clueless than these drivers.

“Being born to a mother named Stanley!”

I’ll bet that influenced his decision to turn queer, I mean come on, if your mother is named Stanley you have little chance of staying ‘straight’. Amiright?

He went wrong with that marxism/atheism/satanism/islam approach to life.

He’s actually been pretty successful. The terrorists he armed have taken over major parts of Syria and Iraq and they’ve reached the Turkish border. He’s destroyed the border security that kept illegal Democrat votes, disease and child molesters out. Through selective enforcement of the law, black racist criminals can hunt white people on the street with little risk of punishment and if whites complain about it, they’re considered racists.

He’s intellectually lazy, and when things don’t go his way he gets vindictive.

He went wrong when he decided to identify with left-wing radicals of the ‘60s and by following their “rules”. However, it is my belief that he did not make that decision on his own free will. He’d been worked over pretty good by that time and because his young mind was weak, he just sort of fell in with them. Knowing that to be the case, they brought him in and then finished him off.

One of the interesting observations I’ll make is that we sometimes get distracted by the “politics” of an administration rather than looking at it objectively based on competence and capabilities. We (correctly) focus on the awful political agenda of the Obama administration, but the reality is that the sheer incompetence of so many people in this administration (and it starts at the top) has been their real undoing. I wouldn’t hire any of these people to clean my toilets ... and it has nothing to do with their politics.
