"How Obama Blew the Entire Last Year"

"Obama's annus horribilis wasn't over, of course. Still to come was the badly botched rollout of the Affordable Care Act, a mess still awaiting a fix. The result, on the one-year anniversary of his reelection, is that Obama finds himself near a personal low point in his approval ratings. Gallup's daily tracking poll released Tuesday had him at 39 percent approval, only 1 point above his worst showing, in October 2011. In the past 60 years, only Richard Nixon (29 percent) and George W. Bush (38 percent) had lower ratings a year after their reelection. (Ronald Reagan was at 64 percent, Bill Clinton at 60, and Dwight Eisenhower at 58.)"

I don't care for the way that is written.

"The Republicans battered him on Benghazi. what?
No mention of the repeated "It was the video" lie pushed by the Obama administration. No mention that Benghazi happened on Obama's watch under his Secretary of State's control.

"Add to that those House Republicans who think their mandate for obstruction trumps the president's mandate."

So the media, pushing the democrat line, assumes that it is the responsibility of the opposition party to roll over.

I see. So the democrats should be allowed and applauded for passing all legislation in the manner in which they passed ObamaCare.--
On party line vote, without proper vetting or reading, in the dead of night, and against the wishes of a majority of Americans.
Otherwise, those icky pesky republicans are just getting in the way of the left's authoritarian righteousness.

Got it.

Poor exasperated Obama. The distractions of his own incompetence and corruption cannot always all be blamed on Republicans. It's so sad.

Jay Clown Carney, Susan Rice and Hillary herself battered US with the "it was the video" lie.

So it turns out to be a popularity contest, after all?

Better late than never, I guess.

What took so long? Well, he's got black skin.

In reality, has Obama done any worse in the last year than he did the previous four years?

It's just the bills coming due.

He mortgaged off tomorrow for everybody, including himself; unfortunately, tomorrow came a little sooner than they thought it would.
