They ask increasingly, what’s up with Obama? It’s almost as if he’s bored with the job and has checked out. Is this just a consequence of things not having gone the way his ideological naivete convinced him they would go and he’s lost interest in trying to be in any objective sense a ‘good’ president? Is this simply what you get when you make a guy with no executive experience and no natural leadership skills leader of a country like America and therefore the man is lost, the job has completely out stripped his limited abilities? I mean, if you believe his only qualification for being president was that he was a charming black guy the media adored and would willingly prostrate themselves before and he therefore imagined his job as chief executive would simply be about standing in front of a teleprompter, spewing a bunch of pleasant sounding gibberish and then letting the press spin approving narratives slavishly propping up that gibberish, then the inevitable intrusion of harsh reality into all this deluded pleasantness would likely seem very much like the brick wall he has apparently run into.
Or is it that his only goal all along has been to push the country as far left as possible by whatever means possible and that agenda has nothing to do with good governance nor, now that he no longer has to worry about being re-elected, being popular? The various scandals and abuses are a manifestation of this - his foreign policy seems to definitely be a manifestation of this in that his scorn for American power and lack of interest in the traditional aspects of US security and influence make Carter seem like a hawk in comparison - but just look no further than his response to current border crisis in Texas, which even some democrats are criticizing as insufficient - but it’s only insufficient and misguided if you care about good governance in ‘objective’ terms - whereas if all you care about is making the country as Spanish as possible because in the long run that means larding the electorate with more people blindly sympathetic to the goals of progressivism and if while doing this you can also manage to piss off conservatives enough that they strike out in ways that your co-religionists in the press can easily portray as racist, then this ain’t a crisis at all - it’s the Obama doctrine working exactly as intended.
