His list of failures is astounding. His Stimulus accomplished nothing, in the final analysis. His Cairo speech accomplished nothing, and in the end, was an above the fold, waste of time. His electric golf cart give-away program was the stuff jokes are made of. His "Cash for Clunkers" did nothing to help the environmental car industry. His hope that we would become world leaders in solar panel manufacture, pot-hole repair, and, weather stripping was another humorous plan created by a man with no experience in management and job creation. His "jobs created or saved" was a line created to deceive (he no longer uses that term, btw). His decision to totally ignore GOP leadership for more than two years, backfired on him. His efforts at developing a world wide "global warming" coalition, in Geneva, was an utter failure . . . . and these are just some of the failures in his first year.
Conservatives and Independents are not the only ones disappointed in this phony. Turns out, the frustrations extend to his own party membership and [even] leadership. Chuck Schumer, Dick Durbin, Nancy Pelosi, Elizabeth Warren and, most recently, Hillary Clinton, have all been openly critical of Mr Obama.
"Lame Duck of a President" does not begin to capture his reality. And the closer we get to the 2016 elections, the more pronounced the criticism will be.
Enjoy reading the excerpt.
Washington Examiner: He has 18
months left to fulfill his "Yes we can" agenda, but President Obama
is frustratingly finding that his supporters have already forgotten what he's
done and even think he's an "idiot" for not making good on his
promise to fix Washington.
In a
candid fundraising speech at actor Tyler Perry's Santa Monica, Calif., home
Thursday night, the president expressed his own frustration at not scoring more
wins in his two terms, but also aired distress at how quickly some of have
forgotten his achievements.
"I
got a letter a while back from a gentleman living in Colorado, and clearly an intelligent guy,
and he had taken a lot of time to write this letter. And he said, you know, I
voted for you twice, but I'm feeling disillusioned,'" Obama said.
"And
I get letters, people say, 'You are an idiot,' and here's what you didn't do, and
here's the program that is terrible, and all kinds of stuff. But this
gentleman, he said, I voted for you twice but I'm deeply disappointed. And it
went on and on, chronicling all the things that hadn't gotten done," added
Obama.
While he
didn't detail the writer's frustrations, Obama, who previously noted how the
economy has come back, jobs are growing and the future looks brighter, said
"he seemed to have forgotten everything that had happened and how he had
benefitted." The president told
Democratic donors that writer's angst was probably directed at Washington's division
and his inability to unite the parties.
"The
core I think of his concern, the core of his complaint was that he thought that
when I got to Washington
I could bring people together and make them work more effectively," he
said. "And on that issue, I had to tell him, you're right. I am
frustrated, and you have every right to be frustrated, because Congress doesn't
work the way it should."
