Some of us were never enamored with the punk to begin with. The white liberals and the minorities who foisted him into office are angry about one of two things: He simply isn’t able to push through his entire socialist train wreck, although gawd knows he’s done enough damage, or the fact that it’s gotten to the point where they realized what a SCOAMF he is.
From the Telegraph:
Barack Obama romped to the presidency of the United States in 2008 on a tidal wave of ‘hope and change’. Back then, the financial crisis was raging and US troops were still engaged in combat in Iraq and Afghanistan, but a fresh-faced Mr Obama brimmed with confidence.
He predicted that future generations would look back on his election and see the moment “when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal…when we ended a war and secured our nation and restored our image as the last, best hope on earth.”
Six years later, Obama is weary and greyed and finds his job approval ratings stuck in the low-40s. This October is the 17th consecutive month in which polls show that a majority of Americans disapprove of his leadership.
With November’s mid-term elections less than a month away, even fellow Democrats won’t be seen dead with the man who once transformed their party’s fortunes. Apart from some closed-door fundraisers, Obama is all but invisible on the campaign trail.
……So where did it all go wrong?
Since Obama took office facing the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, unemployment has fallen from 10pc to 6pc and American businesses have created 10 million new jobs – that’s more than Japan, Europe and every other advanced economy combined.
So why do only 39pc of Americans approve of his handling of the economy, according to YouGov? It’s because too many of those jobs are “McJobs” – that is, low-paid and part-time work that don’t leave people feeling better off.
……He succeeded in forcing the Obamacare reforms through Congress, but the payback came in the 2010 mid-term elections. The Tea Party movement was born and a fired-up Republican base took back the House of Representatives. Washington has been gridlocked pretty much ever since.
The big hurdle was the ‘individual mandate’ that forced all Americans to buy health insurance on pain of a fine. Obama appeared to underestimate how little Americans, born to be free, like being mandated to do anything.
……Add to that the Benghazi disaster, where Obama lost his ambassador to Libya, and the on-going crisis in the administration of Veterans Affairs, and it seems many voters are no longer inclined to give Obama the benefit of the doubt.
……Call it the whip-lash effect, but as the saying goes, “nothing turns to hate so bitter as what once was love.” Having been elected on a wave of such stratospheric adulation, it was perhaps inevitable Obama would disappoint more deeply.
……As a president who campaigned on ending foreign entanglements, it has been nothing short of humiliating for Obama to be forced to intervene in Syria and Iraq. It didn’t help matters when he admitted in August that “we don’t have a strategy yet” for confronting Isil.
Now, two former top aides have released books criticizing Mr Obama for his lack of leadership over Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan, and for the hands-off foreign policy doctrine which the president once memorably summarized as “don’t do stupid stuff”.
……Golf is usually a retirement option, but to many observers Obama seems to have taken his early, completing nearly 200 rounds since taking office – including nearly 40 this year alone.
It’s not that the president doesn’t have a right to relax, but it wasn’t just Republicans who were angered by the sight of Obama laughing and joking on a golf cart just minutes after making an announcement condemning the beheading of the journalist James Foley.
Basically, it’s gone from this:
To this:
At the core of all this, is the inescapable fact that Obama is and always has been a narcissistic sociopath.
Anyone who did even a modicum of research on Obama’s background, would have understood as far back as 2008 that he’s totally unfit to hold public office. Obama is a stupid, dangerous scatterbrain with no clue how to run the economy or foreign policy. The Left, in their haste to install a Black Jesus in the White House, has saddled this country with a flawed malfeasant; a self-absorbed enfant terrible who is a failure as a ‘president’ and human being.
It’s all about him. Any inconvenient crisis (mostly of his own making) is dismissed as a lie designed to make him look bad. Just blame others and head for the golf course.
Congratulations, suckers. Ya got what ya voted for.
