George Will: Let’s face it — besides Nixon’s, this is pretty much the worst second term, ever

It’s been a rough fifth year in office for President Obama, with overwrought sequestration scare tactics, Scandalpalooza, and the Syrian debacle all chipping away at his leadership street cred, among other things — but this disaster of an ObamaCare rollout is really hammering the heightened disapproval home with what’s starting to look like a majority of Americans. During past job-performance dips, O’s job approval rating has been reliably bolstered by his personal favorability ratings and Americans’ sense of trust in him — but the health care law is helping to erode those usual go-to’s, and quickly. Via the WSJ:

The year ain't over...

[Mike Darancette]

Lincoln’s second term was pretty bad.

[Carriage Hill]

3 more years to go... I wish it were just one.

Lincoln’s second term was pretty bad.

I know a lot of Freepers profess a loathing of Lincoln but I think it's safe to say that the Obamanation's legacy will be viewed less in favor by history than Lincoln's.

To George Wills:...

You missed the first term? Odumbo being pres has short of destroyed this country worldwide and nobody in Congress seems to give a crap or has the gonnads to get him removed. I am surprised he finished the first term.

[SoFloFreeper]

Worse than Nixon. Nixon had media opposition. The Clown has the media’s worship.

The scenes in the bowels of the WH must rival a horror movie. The ‘players’ are turning against each other for all the mistakes and overreaches. The power behind the throne (Jarrett) is standing in quicksand.

[albie]

No comparison. This is the...worst...ever! Nixon wasn’t trying to take down America. I wish these idiots would quit treating this like it’s just another presidency!

[Starboard]

and Americans’ sense of trust in him

********
America is a very naive country in many respects. Heck, we nearly elected Al Gore to the presidency. Just sayin...

[matginzac]

Exactly...
Go suck it, Georgie...no thanks to you for your slam of the Cooch during the election, your dinner party for Obozo as well as little confabs with him in the WH....you are who you hang with....

[Resolute Conservative]

I wouldn’t piss on her if she were on fire.

[blueunicorn6]

Nixon’s great sin was that he tried to protect some underlings. Compare that to Obama and see who is the worst.

[jetson]

Whats all of this worst second term BS. This prez is a lying crook.

[ConorMacNessa]

Obama's regime is the worst in history, bar none. Nixon, who at least was for America, got kicked out over the coverup of a second-rate burglary. Obama, on the other hand, is an out-and-out traitor who hates America and is doing everything in his power to destroy it. It took a while for us to recover from the Carter Administration, previously the worst in our history. The prospects of our recovery from this one remains an open question.

America demands Justice for the Fallen of Benghazi!

EAGLES UP! Once more unto the breach, my friends, once more!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

[nascarnation]

Heck, we nearly elected Al Gore to the presidency

He could have replaced PBS with Al Jazeera LOL.

[Youngman542012]

What will haunt us in the future is the Worlds losing faith in the USA....they are backing away and making new friends...allies....we are the leper in the room....that is what Obama has done...no one can trust us anymore..and can see what we are doing with the “reserve” currency...and they are making other plans...

[DoughtyOne]

It’s disgraceful to mention Nixon in conjunction with Obama or Clinton. And yet it’s done over and over.

When you do so, you infer they haven’t reached his level of depravity. To the contrary, Clibton and Obama are far far worse than Nixon.

[Iron Munro]

Compared to Obama’s deceit, lies, fraud, traitorous actions and criminality Nixon looks like a wayward schoolboy.

Who Killed Michael Hastings?

Reflexively distrustful, eager to make powerful enemies, the young journalist whose Mercedes exploded in Los Angeles one night couldn’t possibly have died accidentally, could he?

Lincoln tops the list of horrible Presidents. No one else comes close.
