Obama is sinking in the polls because of things like:
- Unemployment hovers around 10% even after Obama has spent a lot of stimulus money. In other words, the deficit is skyrocketing and unemployment isn't budging ... and he has had long enough to make a difference ... the difference being folks are running out of their unemployment benefits.
- Home mortgages still plague millions of families. (See http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/06/23/fannie-mae-strategic-default_n_623562.html for but one plague.)
- Senior citizens like myself don't like the health care reform at all. We see our Medicare programs being cut and the insurance companies getting a windfall in mandated coverage.
- Then there's the screwup on the containment and cleanup of the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill ...
- And his figuring out that he never should have appointed McCrystal to lead the Afghanistan War in the first place, nor kept him on after the leak of "General Stanley A. McChrystal's confidential assessment of the situation in Afghanistan" (see http://spectator.org/archives/2009/10/05/leaking-for-national-security ).
- There's more, like keeping the foxes—Bernake, Geithner, and Summers—in our financial hen house sorting our eggs ... and ... and ... and ...
Obama's missed the big opportunities to show leadership because—IMHO—he does not know the first thing about leadership at this level. And he is not showing any signs of learning anytime soon.
