How bad has it been for President Obama this summer? So bad that even liberals are now turning on him. The President's low standing in the eyes of his opponents is no surprise. What is a surprise is the degree to which the president’s supporters, including many independents, are joining the anti-Obama chorus. - - Can it get any worse? Sure it can. Here are 10 key trouble-spots for the Obama administration, and why they will probably only fester between now and election day. - In many ways the Obama administration is the modern-day equivalent to an Ancien Régime – insular, ostentatious, and morbidly self-absorbed. First Lady Michelle Obama’s calamitous trip to Spain at a time of widespread economic suffering has become iconic in the worst way: symbolic of an administration that is profoundly indifferent to public opinion, and damnably preoccupied with the status and perks of office. - This absence of trust in and respect for Obama’s leadership is of paramount importance. A recent Washington Post/ABC News poll has found that “nearly six in ten voters say they lack faith in the president to make the right decisions for the country”. Two thirds of respondents consider themselves “disillusioned with or angry about the way the federal government is working.”A remarkable 58% of Americans have no confidence in Obama's decision-making abilities, while only42% say they do have confidence. - His soaring rhetoric at the 2004 Democrat Convention in Boston impressed millions at the time, but the spell is long-broken; America has grown weary of Barack Obama’s flat monotone and his listless, teleprompter-driven speeches. From his painfully underwhelming speech at West Point on Afghanistan to his inert State of the Union address, President Obama has failed to sway the heart-strings of the same American voters who swooned in droves in 2008. - The Congressional Budget Office Long-Term Budget Outlook paints a truly frightening picture of the magnitude of the country's national debt. With its alternative fiscal scenario, the CBO is projecting that US debt might rise to as much as 87% of GDP by 2020, 109 percent of GDP by 2025, and 185 percent of GDP in 2035. Ironically, much of Europe, led by Britain and Germany, is cutting their deficits with a vengeance, at precisely the time that the Obama administration is wantonly expanding America’s debt, and has no plan in place to avert a looming Greek-style financial crisis. - The Obama administration's almost pathological focus on porkulus spending and bailouts has had little visible effect on the private economy, but has greatly increased the reach of federal power in America. This has energized the American people to a fever pitch of opposition, to which Obama and his spokesmen can only respond with dismissiveness and deceit. - In a breathtaking act of recklessness, President Obama poured all of his considerable political capital into a manifestly unpopular and divisive health care reform plan, complete with an horrific price tag of $940 billion, the repeal of which is now supported by 55% of likely voters. - Thankfully most of the spilled Gulf oil has either evaporated or been cleaned up.
