The ObamaCare
train wreck is plowing through the White House in super slow-mo on
screens everywhere, splintering reputations and presidential approval
ratings. Audiences watch popeyed as Democrats in distress like Senators
Kay Hagan, Mary Landrieu and Mark Pryor decide whether to cling to the
driverless train or jump toward the tall weeds. The heartless compilers
of the Washington Post/ABC poll asked people to pick a head-to-head
matchup now between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney. Mitt won. This is the most amazing spectacle of
mayhem and meltdown anyone has seen in politics since Watergate.
No question, it's tough on Barack Obama. But what about the rest of us? For many Americans, the Obama leadership meltdown began five years ago.
In
fall 2008, the U.S. suffered its worst financial crisis since the
Depression. That wasn't Barack Obama's fault. But five years on, in the
fall of 2013, the country's economy is still sick.
Unemployed
middle-aged men look in the mirror and see someone who may never work
again. Young married couples who should be on the way up are living in
their parents' basement. Many young black men (official unemployment
rate 28%; unofficial rate off the charts) have no prospect of work.
Washington these days kvetches a lot about what Healthcare.gov is doing to the Obama "legacy." Far worse than ObamaCare,
though, is that the 44th president in his second term presides over a
great nation that is punching so far below its weight that large swaths
of its people have lost heart.
