Michael Goodwin Has It Right

Michael Goodwin has it right. The writer for the New York Post has written an article in which he calls the Obama Administration one filled with boobs, led by a narcissist. How much more dead-nuts on can you be?

I haven't written much about the president's abhorrent behavior at Nelson Mandala's funeral, where he was caught taking "selfies" with the Prime Minister of Denmark, Helle Thorning Schmidt. Sorry Bobo, that's just something normal people don't do at funerals.

Move to his lying to the American public on several dozen occasions, which I've already outlined in this blog ad nauseum. Move to his press secretary, who's daily briefing qualifies verbatim for Jay Leno's monologue each evening. Move to his Secretary of State who made one of the most boobish calls in history dealing with Benghazi, then ran off around the world so she couldn't answer for her transgression....and a scant year later, is on a nation-wide "listening tour" of the country so she can become president (God help us!). To the IRS scandal, to the scandal that is Eric Holder, to the scandal involving James Rosen. It all adds up Bobo. It all adds up!

I'll say this for Obama. He has taken the role of the presidency from something people respect and admire to a roll that hasn't been relegated to it since Nixon left the White House over the Watergate scandal. I know Obama doesn't care about anything but being the most powerful guy on earth (which he no longer is by the way...he dropped to second behind Vladamir Putin of Russia). Hell, he can't even lose properly!

I guess this nonsense started when he decided to go on the famed "apology tour", where he went all over the world apologizing to every country he felt America had wronged in the past. Of course, now, we're the most loved country in the world....can't you tell? And the sad news is, this ego-maniac doesn't have it in him to admit a mistake. He's so convinced that his brand of socialism is needed in this country, that he's missed the fact that he's become a laughing stock abroad and here at home.

Don't believe me? Look at his poll numbers. They slid to the worst since Nixon. I mean, for crying out loud! If you can't beat Jimmy Carter's poll numbers, you're pretty bad. I always felt Obama would be the worst president in the past fifty years (though he got strong contention from Carter, Eisenhower, and Ford), but now I'm wondering if he could top the all-time worst presidents list?

Thinking back through the list, and trying to leave the political stances I don't agree with out, you've got Andrew Johnson, Millard Fillmore, probably Herbert Hoover, Richard Nixon (though he DID do some good in opening up China), Jimmy Carter, and now Bobo Obama. I mean, did I leave anyone out? I guess I could throw in Woodrow Wilson, but that would be for political stances, so it probably shouldn't count.

Nope. Can't see how he escapes the bottom five all time worst presidents. And his staff, which was supposed to be "the most transparent in history" has become a laughing stock. It is too bad we won't have the chance to see Obama become the second president actually impeached, and the first voted out of office. Of course, I'm not sure having the walking blooper reel better known as Joe Biden in the White House for more than a cup of coffee would be any better!

No, Michael Goodwin has pretty much nailed it. Sleep in an extra hour today Michael....you've earned it!
