Obama's Apologists

[Geee]

American Thinker:

Barack Obama's leadership poll numbers have been plummeting. Only 52 percent of Americans describe him as a strong leader and the momentum as we head into the heat of the Presidential campaign is heading in the wrong direction . Predictably, his apologists and sycophant spinners have come to his rescue and are trying -- once again -- to sell us an image of him as a leader and as a President that bears little resemblance to reality. Beware their power to swing elections; they have a track record of success at doing so.

Barack Obama has put on quite a show for Americans. He has presided over a weak economy that is fueled by high octane gas courtesy of the Federal Reserve's low interest rates and cheap money policies, and by massive deficit spending ending up on our children's and grandchildren's balance sheets.

Why would Americans consider him a leader?

He outsourced ObamaCare to Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid. The locus of foreign policy has been moved from Foggy Bottom to Turtle Bay. He and his team were unable to produce a budget in 2010-when he had a majority in Congress. He ignored budget and deficit issues for much of his Presidency and was so late to the game Paul Ryan and the GOP seized the issue and turned it to its own advantage. The stimulus bill, climate change legislation, and sundry other matters were delegated to Democrats in Congress.

He always seems to be "far behind the curve" -- not a place once would expect a leader to be. Even liberal New York Times columnist has lost the love who writes that "the President is Missing."
