Barack Obama's address at Nelson Mandela's memorial service was deemed a triumph, writes Peter Foster. But back home people are mainly listing his failures.
Back home, however, such adoration is harder and harder to come by. Perhaps that is why Mr Obama rises so brilliantly to the away crowd, conscious that the home fans are disillusioned with a management style that has put so little into the political trophy cabinet.
He is barely a year into his second term, but Mr Obama is fast becoming like Baroness Thatcher or Mikhail Gorbachev, who were lionised on the international stage but, perplexingly to foreigners, more and more widely reviled at home.
The disaffection at home is no longer confined to the American Right that reviled him from the start. One poll last week showed Mr Obama's approval ratings at 38 per cent, a record low - the point where the president himself becomes the problem, instead of being the guy with a bully pulpit who can solve them.

The sign guy made more sense than Obama....at least he made something.
Success? It was a freak show.
It’s the Brits, they meant suckfest.
From the article:
“So while the Right peddles ideological pipe-dreams about the invigorating powers of zero-government, and the Left relapses to the politics of envy against the wealthiest “one per cent”, Mr Obama is left in the middle to be, as he sees it, the voice of what he calls “common sense”.”
This shows the utter ignorance of the writer. Obama in the center? If he got further left, he would be off stage.
The media sets the bar so low for the Marxist.
The translator gave a better speech than he did.
Pray America is Waking
Successful photo op maybe. But that’s about it.
They want him. Badly. I had it out on several South African blogs this week with some locals there and they called me “ungrateful” for not appreciating him. They think he is the best ever. Fools.
Deemed a success by whom and why should we care what they think?
..... Success in South Africa? ..... Really?
“Destroying America, but the idiot voters were convinced that they had to vote for the black man, just to prove that they are not Raaaaacist, despite that Obumbo is little more then a filthy Communist and most likely an illegal immigrant from Kenya.”
Totally/completely/absolutely NAILED IT!
Did he get a date with The Dane?????????????????
what success in South Africa??? congratulate the teleprompter that was the only success there
Chauchesku? Oh, I see.
I’ve heard he gives good speeches. Wouldn’t know since I can’t stand to look at him or listen to him.
I’m cutting the clown some slack .... he just got the “Lie of the Year” Award .... and he actually EARNED it (unlike the Nobel).
“Success”?? He got a new name and number for his little black book. I’d call that a huge success — more cover for the homo.
Oh no!
You owe me a keyboard. That’s the funniest thing I’ve seen all week!
Hahahahahahahaha...gasp!....hahahahaha...
