True, he’s getting slammed like a Jesuit missionary running a gauntlet of Iroquois braves: unemployment is high and unlikely to come down before the election, instances of highly irregular crony capitalism are breaking out like hives, his speeches are even being trashed by his erstwhile allies, his foreign policy’s backfiring and he’ll probably soon be declared Man of the Year by the Mexican drug cartels for the Fast and Furious scandal which has helped turn the narcotraficantes into a well-armed army of occupation. Over-regulation, the credit downgrade, calls for higher taxes, AttackWatch - the list just goes on and on.
Still, we’re 14 months away from the election, and I worry that Obama, even as utterly feckless as he is, will be unable to maintain this level of stuttering clusterfarkitude that long. I mean, can he go the distance? Can he keep up his loser's pace?

I don't think the President would quite be in the same class …
Cheers
It's true, President Teh Won is a slippery one, but he also seems to be a captive of his Chicago cadre and his own rigid ideology. If he can't wiggle out of his dilemmas pretty soon, the Dems might get desperate enough to force him out (stranger things have happened).
A girl can dream.
So, what you're saying is, he got lame, not game.
Looks to me like Community Organising all the way.
Passive aggressive, never give in, everything is an opportunity to either gain more power or play the victim (and gain power via naive sympathy).
Like a curve ball this could actually win, in a dumbing down electorate. And create a new politics of victory by martyrdom.
I feel that Obama will soldier on. It's all he's got, after all.
His lack of experience, combined with his raging narcissism won't allow him any opportunity to change course, and people are getting pretty damned tired of his one-trick pony act.
One of my very liberal colleagues even asked this past week, "Why does he have to yell his speeches?"
Hey, it's Chicago! They know losers!
