“In recent months, Barack Obama has crossed an important threshold. He has always shown contempt for his opponents; now he shows contempt for his supporters. He has quit pretending to be a leader, and more or less quit pretending to be a president. On the right and the center, he has become a joke.”
– John Hinderraker, Powerline
His post adds more…
…by quoting Maureen Dowd:
First the president couldn’t work with Republicans because they were too obdurate. Then he tried to chase down reporters with subpoenas. Now he finds members of his own party an unnecessary distraction.
and then Hinderaker finishes up with:
?It isn’t very hard to pretend to be president: Obama did it for five years or so. But now, he can’t be bothered. He leaves his allies with no ammunition with which to defend him, thereby showing, one might argue, even more contempt for them than for his enemies. There is an adage, Hell hath no fury like a liberal scorned. If that is true, Obama is in for a long two years.?
Frankly, if Obama wants to golf, let him golf. Let him golf every single day and every single hour. The upshot of it all now is that his minions, the Hate-America-first, Nanny-State-Tyrants, Kill-Traditional-American-Values and No-Energy-Deindustrialize-America fanatics are already in place – they need no orders from him as in almost all cases, they have free reign to do what they want anyways. All he has to do is sign an Executive Order now and then to give them cover.
