A Velcro President

John Feehery posts a column on the Washington Wire blog of The Wall Street Journal. Some of his choicer comments follow:
They said that Ronald Reagan was the Teflon President. Nothing, not even Iran-Contra, could stick to him. Barack Obama is the Velcro President. Everything is sticking to him.

For Mr. Obama, the trouble started when it became clear that “if you like your health-care plan, you can keep it” wasn’t true. When you lose credibility, everything sticks to you.

From Benghazi to Bergdahl, from Syria to Ukraine, from the faltering economy to the bungled Obamacare rollout, nothing is going president’s way. Don’t expect the election to.
