Leadership Crises of Obama

David Letterman: 

“Take a look at this: gas under $3 a gallon, Unemployment under 6%, Stock market breaking records every day. No wonder the guy is so unpopular.”

The day before the 2014 Mid Term Elections, there were a lot of political posting going on the internet.  The above post was offered up by one of my "Blue Friends" who will remain nameless in this blog.  In my anticipation of a Republican blowout, I answered the question of "why is this guy so unpopular?"  I think that I pretty much nailed it, as witnessed by the Democrats being neutered in the election.  So, if you are one of those who are in denial, about why Obama and the Democrats are in the predicament that they find themselves in, please read on...

It couldn't be because Obama’s list of leadership crises are formidable?  Like the botched rollout of the healthcare website?  Could it be that Americans now understand that the “Affordable Healthcare Act” is not affordable, and in fact mandates less care for a higher price and it still leaves the country with 30 Million Americans without healthcare?  Are they upset about long waits and horrible care at Veterans Administration hospitals?  Or, possibly Edward Snowden’s disclosures of the NSA secrets?  Surly, not the pileup of foreign children along the southern border of the US, right?  Do you think that Average Americans remember the nearly $1B economic bailout that resulted in no bailout to the shrinking Middle Class Americans?   Or better yet, the billions wasted to promote solar energy only to have those solar companies go bottoms up!  …and what about the lack of action on the Keystone Pipeline, a “no brainer” which everyone agrees would provide 20,000 high paying union jobs, and help reduce our reliance on foreign oil?  Is it possible that Americans asking why he has stood idly by as Iran gets a nuclear weapon and Islamist terrorists marauder across Syria and Iraq beheading foreigners, including Americans?  Is the voting public mad that the President of the US did nothing as the Ebola virus arrived in the United States?   Could any of these situations strike a disgruntled note to the public … Benghazi, Fast-n-Furious and Lois Lerner of the IRS?  Maybe it is the feeling that the Whitehouse Press Secretary and the Attorney General continue to throw roadblocks in the way of the truth?

Gas and the stock market are driven mostly by the international economy.  Unemployment...for most of Obama’s 6 years was at 8% and only recently to 6%.  America has not seen this continued high unemployment numbers since Jimmy Carter was President.  Oh, did I mention the unprecedented number of those who have totally given up on the idea of finding a job...not counted in the 6%!  One more...Obamacare’s  broken promise to “keep your healthcare plan and keep your doctor.”  Obamacare is the one single issue impacting job growth and economic expansion in our country!  …and it needs to be fixed quickly!

Maybe Americans now realize that Obama has a jaded worldview of the greatness of America, and that he is incompetent and a rank armature, who has failed to lead all Americans.
