When asked in one recent poll to identify Obama’s most significant achievement to date, nearly 40 percent of those surveyed said “nothing,” which should come as no surprise to anyone who has been paying attention. The rock star president may have won the talent competition, but he’s failed to make even one hit record since coming into office. In an odd way it’s a stunning affirmation of the notion that, in politics and in governing, ideas do matter. Elected officials who stand for nothing but themselves – and again Nixon comes to mind – soon find themselves standing out in the cold. Obama believes not in American exceptionalism, not in the American system, not even in the American people, but only in Obama.
After almost six years the people are starting to figure that out – and they don’t like it one bit. No one should be surprised, therefore, if the Republicans post bigger than expected gains in the 2014 congressional and gubernatorial elections. The country is getting ready to turn on Obama just like they turned on George W. Bush in 2006 over Iraq, spending and the media-fed perception that he was mismanaging the business of government. People are tired and are looking for something new. They’re just not that into him anymore.
