Second terms are not kind to presidents, which is odd because you'd think they'd learn on the job. With his sole legislative "accomplishment" - Obamacare - revealed as a giant disaster, President Obama's approval numbers continue to slide and he seems unable to improve the situation.
It is hard to remember that a year ago we were bewailing the fate of a national Republican Party which couldn't defeat a failing incumbent. Only weeks ago the phony government "shut-down" had again seemingly done grievous injury to the GOP's future.
Now as millions of voters lose their health care policies, it's the Dems' turn to be "in the barrel." Meanwhile the GOP looks good by comparison; it's unanimous rejection of the hapless ACA now seeming prescient.
Perhaps it is finally time to write what many have thought but few have dared to say. The first affirmative action President has been given two terms to show what he can do and, sadly for our nation, the answer is "not much." See an article in American Thinker which fleshes out this "affirmative action" trope.
Even the Europeans who had such high hopes for Obama are disillusioned. Our poor, beloved country needs leadership and has none.
