Obama's Failing Presidency

by J.R. Dunn - July 22nd, 2010 - The American Thinker

While Obama's reputation may no longer be that of a demigod, it hasn't fallen very far among much of the country's political elite. In uptown Manhattan and within the Beltway, Obama is viewed as a mastermind, a political wizard who gets pretty much what he wants and accomplishes what he sets out to do. As evidence for this thesis we're reminded that in his first eighteen months as president, Obama passed the stimulus, ObamaCare, and now a financial reform bill, a record unparalleled since FDR's legendary "Hundred Days."

When you combine this article with the recent article about the "ruling class", it provides insight into the uncertainty that is coming in November. This article provides a very intelligent assessment of the long term impact of Obama's socialist disasters.

It also notes that the liberal press and liberal intelligentsia will ignore the disaster and continue to adore Obama for generations after his disasters have become history. They still love FDR despite the proven failure of his programs.

Yet so many Republicans are themselves wrapped in the delusions of the "ruling class", loving big government and the power of Washington, it is still touch and go whether we can win a big enough victory in November to shorten the disaster that Obama is creating. Most Republican leadership remains totally clueless about what is happening in America.
