1. The Obama presidency is out of touch with the American people
In a previous post I noted how the Obama presidency increasingly resembles a modern-day Ancien Régime, extravagant, decaying and out of touch with ordinary Americans. The First Lady's ill-conceived trip to Spain at a time of widespread economic hardship was symbolic of a White House that barely gives a second thought to public opinion on many issues, and frequently projects a distinctly elitist image. The "let them eat cake" approach didn't play well over two centuries ago, and it won't succeed today.
2. Most Americans don't have confidence in the president's leadership
This deficit of trust in Obama's leadership is central to his decline. According to a recent Washington Post/ABC News poll, "nearly six in ten voters say they lack faith in the president to make the right decisions for the country", and two thirds "say they are disillusioned with or angry about the way the federal government is working." The poll showed that a staggering 58 per cent of Americans say they do not have confidence in the president's decision-making, with just 42 per cent saying they do.
3. Obama fails to inspire
In contrast to the soaring rhetoric of his 2006 Convention speech in Chicago which succeeded in impressing millions of television viewers at the time, America is no longer inspired by Barack Obama's flat, monotonous and often dull presidential speeches and statements delivered via teleprompter. From his extraordinarily uninspiring Afghanistan speech at West Point to his flat State of the Union address, President Obama has failed to touch the heart of America. Even Jimmy Carter was more moving.
4. The United States is drowning in debt
The Congressional Budget Office Long-Term Budget Outlook offers a frightening picture of the scale of America's national debt. Under its alternative fiscal scenario, the CBO projects that US debt could rise to 87 percent of GDP by 2020, 109 percent by 2025, and 185 percent in 2035. While much of Europe, led by Britain and Germany, are aggressively cutting their deficits, the Obama administration is actively growing America's debt, and has no plan in place to avert a looming Greek-style financial crisis.
5. Obama's Big Government message is falling flat
The relentless emphasis on bailouts and stimulus spending has done little to spur economic growth or create jobs, but has greatly advanced the power of the federal government in America. This is not an approach that is proving popular with the American public, and even most European governments have long ditched this tax and spend approach to saving their own economies.
6. Obama's support for socialised health care is a huge political mistake
In an extraordinary act of political Harakiri, President Obama leant his full support to the hugely controversial, unpopular and divisive health care reform bill, with a monstrous price tag of $940 billion, whose repeal is now supported by 55 per cent of likely US voters. As I wrote at the time of its passing, the legislation is "a great leap forward by the United States towards a European-style vision of universal health care, which will only lead to soaring costs, higher taxes, and a surge in red tape for small businesses. This reckless legislation dramatically expands the power of the state over the lives of individuals, and could not be further from the vision of America's founding fathers."

  • You all need to give Obama some more time. He's only trying to fix the damage you repuglicans left him after 8 years of deficits and unemployment.

  • @turnofffox - Obama had almost 2 YEARS...he made everything much much worse. Blaming past years is a coward's way. Only a loser like Obama or you would look back to the last year of Bush to explain incomptence of these 2 yrs. Bush at least kept unemployment at 5% or below for 7 yrs. Imagine 8 yrs of Obama...the USA would cease to exist

  • Hillary Clinton should have won, she would have turned the country around.

  • @JohnRaytheon You don't know what you're talking about. Republicans have deliberately sabotaging Obama. If Bachman is the best Republicans can do...what a walking mess those people are. Shit for brains really. Bush never put the debt of the war on the books (sneaky man typical republican) Obama trying to do what's right has put the debt on the books which makes it look like he has made things worse. Reality is it was already a mess. Obama for another term don't be deceived by Republicans.

  • @JohnRaytheon turnofffox is nothing more than a partisan drone. "Democrats good, republicans bad." Both parties are out of touch with reality and proved Washington to be right when he said that we should not develop political parties. Zombies like turnofffox call all of their political opponets republicans even if they are independents such as myself or even members of his own party. We as a nation cannot reform if we cannot get over partisanship.

  • I know YouTube is not the best place to come for unbiased opinions or facts when it comes to the government (neither is TV), but fairly often I look at videos to try and keep myself educated. I want to know what's going on.

    It's videos like this that DESTROY conservative POV's for me. You're just bashing the guy. I have seen countless of videos on what obama HAS done for this country and every time I try and watch a video on what he's messed up on all it turns out to be in bullshit propaganda

  • @turnofffox Fact filled, sharp, intelligent, logical response! You are truly liberalism at its finest!

    (You're probably not sharp enough to sense the sarcasm)

  • @leestauf Look who's talking!

  • barry took and oath to protect and defend the constitution and the United States. He is doing NONE OF THE ABOVE. To cut through all the political spin and BS, ask yourself a simple question and answer it honestly. Are things better today than they were three years ago or getting infinitely worse? Then remember who entered the White House at that time. Don't let the leftists spin you out of that simple truth.

  • @GUITARdan22 It isn't his job to "oppose and question most American ideals". He took and oath to protect and defend the constitution and the United States. He is doing NONE OF THE ABOVE. To cut through all the political spin and BS, ask yourself a simple question and answer it honestly. Are things better today than they were three years ago or getting infinitely worse? Then remember who entered the White House at that time. Don't let the leftists spin you out of that simple truth.

  • @naveeseal2 It's called "enhanced interrogation techniques".
