The Cracks Are Beginning To Show

The cracks are beginning to show, as those who so breathlessly promoted Barack Obama are now seeing the devastating results of his failures.

The abject corruption. The amorality. The arrogance. The ballooning of debt. The loss of jobs. The closures of businesses. The trashing of the Constitution. The contempt for the Constitution, and for anyone who stands up to say that the Constitution matters.

The present dust-up over the departure of Rep. Massa is indicative of the atmosphere around the administration. From this distance, OS can't tell if Massa's account is accurate, but it certainly is plausible enough to deserve consideration.  Even if only 50% of it is true, it's damning of Obama's White House.

Simon Heffer of the UK Telegraph observes in part:

His lack of experience, his dependence on rhetoric rather than action, his disconnection from the lives of many millions of Americans all handicap him heavily. It is not about whose advice he is taking: it is about him grasping what is wrong with America, and finding the will to put it right. That wasted first year, however, is another boulder hanging from his neck: what is wrong needs time to put right. The country's multi-trillion dollar debt is barely being addressed; and a country engaged in costly foreign wars has a President who seems obsessed with anything but foreign policy – as a disregarded Britain is beginning to realise. 

And, folks, that's relatively gentle treatment, compared to what many here have to say about the man.

Chin-straps on. This man is in office, sans a successful impeachment (which has never occurred) until January of 2013.
