Why in the world does Obama’s quick fall from grace surprise anyone?? It was easy to see this coming a mile away. In addition to Ms. Rubin’s points, here are a couple more reasons Obama was doomed to fail:
It is clear that Obama is in over his head. He has never managed anything larger than a Senate staff, never held a job where he was accountable for anything of real consequence, and now he has suddenly been thrust into a position of real responsibility and has to actually make something work instead of give lectures. And he is finding out that, guess what, the Presidency is a tough job.
Almost since he appeared on the scene Obama has been the object of blind adoration in the liberal media. The MSM compared Obama to the nation’s greatest presidents, princes born in palaces and Jesus Christ before he even took office. The mainstream media hoisted Obama on its own petard, no human being could possibly meet such wildly over the top expectations. The fact that Obama was prejudged to be among the nation’s greatest presidents based on such appallingly poor qualifications is among the greatest frauds ever perpetuated on the American people.
Also, Obama was not about to govern from the center because he was never a centrist in the first place. His politics have always been associated with the extreme hard left, and there was bound to be a day of reckoning when this center-right country found out they have been had.
