Conrad Black is more studious than I. If were blogging this topic w/o his work, it would been. He lives. He breathes. He hasn't resigned yet. Mr. Black's more professional evaluation follows below....
The president has three principal problems. He is well to the left of the public and of what he promised the voters in 2008, and his is an old, passé leftism — one that is authoritarian and deviously presented, and was discredited in this country decades ago; it featured the sort of nostrums that caused Bill Clinton and others to become “New Democrats.” Obama is increasingly perceived as having credibility problems and of being cold, cocksure, narcissistic, and intoxicated by what he modestly called “the gift” of his own articulateness. And, as president, he has been quite, and quite surprisingly, incompetent.
Yep, that would be a good postmortem for his failure come 2012.
