O’Connor: Is Obama a half-term president or a political genius? (San Diego News Network 12/14/09)

This article is too long for me to post the whole thing, but I highly recommend that you click the link and read it all.

You are in danger of becoming a “half-term President.”

The Republicans, with a clear message of “No”, are gaining ground.

Sarah Palin is within one point of your approval rating; Mike Huckabee and Mitt Romney are within spitting distance of your job, and the GOP is leading in the Congressional generic ballot box question.

Let me put this in sports terms. Specifically, boxing. Several rounds into your presidency, your legs are starting to wobble.

You prefer fancy footwork, dancing around the ring, and playing to a crowd that enjoys spectacles. That worked well during the campaign, but gets you nowhere while governing.

Even when you are on the ropes (as you are now), you seem incapable of landing a punch, much less scoring a knockout.

The U.S. is adrift, in the midst of a transformational period — one that pits the new “globalism” against a new “nationalism.”

While this may constitute a less violent civil war, it is still fracturing the country.

Your attempts to pivot the country’s attention away from the near intractable core causes of economic dislocation, is unworthy of any American President.

Using a scatter gun approach may be a clever strategy to keep criticism from gaining a footing. However, it mostly just confuses and alarms people.

The equally disingenuous attempt to shame those who dissent from this whirling dervish approach, by labeling them as selfish perpetrators of racism, diminishes us all.

Turning Americans against Americans, by using age, class, religion, education, and geography as wedges is crass politics — even if, by design, only your surrogates practice it.

So here is my final gift. A little more free advice, so that you may be a long-term President, not the “half-term” one the GOP is planning on.

Stop these excuses:

– “Bush did it.”
– “Be patient.”
– “I inherited the mess.”
– And my favorite, “It could be worse.”

How is it possible to feed this verbal pabulum to the unemployed, homeless, bankrupt, hungry and frightened Americans that you are sworn to protect?

Even the Black Congressional Caucus has become impatient with you. As they should. Unemployment among African-Americans is 16 percent, but when underemployment and those no longer looking for jobs is added, the real rate is way north of 20 percent.

It's funny (NOT), now the obots are now even calling radical leftists like Rolling Stone's Matt Taibbi "conspiracy theorists," for saying the truth of the matter:  Barry is in bed with the bankers.  Yeah, that's a real conspiracy theory!  The only conspiracy there is the one to part hard-working Americans from their dollars.furious

Good advice but I bet he doesn't follow this.
