AMERICAN THINKER

Is Obama the most pathetic president in American history? That was a rhetorical question. Barack Obama promised so much: to heal our racial divisions, slice the deficit, provide health care that was cheaper, more widely available and that would not add one dime to the deficit.  More grandly, he promised to stop the rise of the oceans and heal the planet. He was so cool. He was transcendent –an enlightened being — a “Lightworker” and a “sort of God.” Yes…well…how did all that work out?

Critics have judged him by his own words and he has been found wanting. The meaningless chant “Yes We Can,” hypnotic to so many during the Obama hysteria, now reads like a high school motivation poster curling at the edges because actually he can’t do (fill  in the blank).

The cascade of failures are too numerous to list but a good proxy for all of them is the judgment of Americans.  They consider him incompetent; think he is untrustworthy and lies about major issues, and that he cannot be trusted to make the right decisions. People increasingly are blaming him for the border crisis, the civil war in Iraq, [AG:I’d add here his incessant Israel-bashing notwithstanding his default “We’ve got their back” and “Unbreakable bonds”, etc.], the IRS scandal, our poor standing  in the world and much more (and there are still over two years to go).

A recent Quinnipiac poll found Obama is regarded as the worst president since World War Two. And now blame him for the sorry state of the nation.  This is divine justice, since he has since the early days of his presidency been blaming others for his mistakes and record of incompetence.  Indeed, no president has ever dodged responsibility for his own failings as has Obama. But the ruse can only last so long and the expiration date has been reached. Obama can already be considered a failure as a president. So as the Obama presidency (along with America and much of the Free World) spirals down the drain, how has he responded? Has he stepped up his work habits?  Perish the thought! He has done the exact opposite…….
