The magic of his rhetoric is long gone, and not just because the public has tuned him out.
They’ve tuned him out because they’ve made up their minds about him. They no longer trust him and don’t think he’s a good leader.
Most ominously, they feel less safe now than they did when he took office. Americans know the war on terror isn’t over, no matter what their president claims.
Those findings turned up in a tsunami of recent polls that amount to a public vote of no confidence. They shook up the White House so much that the plan to grant amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants was put on hold to try to protect Democratic candidates from voter wrath in November.
That was a necessary tactical retreat, but it doesn’t change the basic calculation. The president’s problem is that he has been wrong about virtually every major issue.
The one area where he should have really done well - race relations - he was a real dud. The one place where he could have made a difference - he didn't. Obama obviously wasn't ready to be President, as many people said while he was still running. And he still hasn't learned enough while in office to do the job correctly or to be right on most issues/ on any issues, really.
And yet..............with all of this knowledge and information that has reached just about everyone, we still have PJ Leftists who extoll the greatness of The Obama One............ and call anyone who points out that this Emperor of theirs is naked............racist and worse.
They sit their behind their computers hurling desperate insults and looking mighty .............ridiculous.
