发帖数: 29846 | 1 Media Frets Over Fading Obama Agenda: “He needs wins and he needs them soon
. There’s no way around that” »
by Jammie
Forget the good of the nation. According to The Hill, the most urgent
concern six months into Obama’s second term is that poor Obama gets to do
some victory laps.
Six months into his second term, the momentum that President Obama
gained from his reelection win is a fading memory.
Few could have foreseen this White House struggling so much after Obama
’s convincing 332-206 electoral vote victory over Mitt Romney last November.
Anyone who hasn’t been guzzling the Obama Koolaid knew a second term would
be a disaster not unlike his first term. We guess they mean “few” in the
media saw this trainwreck coming.
“He needs wins and he needs them soon. There’s no way around that,”
said one top Democratic strategist who routinely communicates with the White
House. “I think just about everyone realizes that.”
Um, no, not everyone realizes that.
Obama’s year to date has been marked by a combination of failures,
distractions and uncertainties.
A push for gun control in the wake of the mass shooting at a Connecticut
elementary school last December came to nothing.
Controversies over the IRS and, more recently, National Security Agency
leaker Edward Snowden absorbed administration energy and time.
The IRS scandal is merely a controversy? Really? Alas, there’s still hope
from the so-called reporters, who actually believes the economy is improving.
The economy is improving, albeit more slowly than the president would
like. If the recovery gains strength, it will lift Obama and the general
mood of the nation.
Recovery? What recovery?
And it probably doesn’t help that he’s golfing while Egypt implodes. | c****i
