HURT: Brutal week for Obama, the worst of his presidency

By Charles Hurt

Thursday, March 29, 2012

ANALYSIS/OPINION:

The past seven brutal days will go down as one of the worst weeks in history for a sitting president. It certainly has been, without any doubt, the worst week yet for President Obama.

Somehow, Mr. Obama managed to embarrass himself abroad, humiliate himself here at home, see his credentials for being elected so severely undermined that it raises startling questions about whether he should have been elected in the first place — let alone be re-elected later this year.

Consider:

• Last Friday, Mr. Obama wandered into the killing of Trayvon Martin. Aided by his ignorance of the situation, knee-jerk prejudices and tendency toward racial profiling, Mr. Obama played a heavy hand in elevating a tragic situation in which a teenager was killed into a full-blown hot race fight.

Americans, he admonished, need to do some "soul-searching." And then, utterly inexplicably, he veered off into this bizarre tangent about how he and the poor dead kid look so much alike they could be father and son. It was election-year race-pandering gone horribly wrong.

• By the start of this week, Mr. Obama had fled town and was racing to the other side of the planet just as the Supreme Court was taking up the potentially-embarrassing matter of Obamacare. While in South Korea he was caught on a hidden mic negotiating with the president of our longest-standing rival on how to sell America and her allies down the river once he gets past the next election.

I would agree it’s probably been one of the three worst weeks for his Presidency. Next week, I’m betting on several campaign dinner deals and probably one real public appearance for the entire week. Then he’ll hustle off for another seven-day vacation...just my humble guess.

“it raises startling questions about whether he should have been elected in the first place “

There has never been any question about this in my mind, but hopefully more are waking up to the truth.

WOW!!! That article is AWESOME!!! The GOP needs to start making those talking points right now and do so for about one solid month; the entire month of April will do. In politics, making early and last minute conversions to your side is the way to go. Early converts to the truth usually get set in cement and can’t be proselyted back as they hear more truth. Last minute converts, don’t have time to change their mind. We need to unleash everything on Obama that we can now, in the month of April. And then, throw the entire kitchen sink at him the entire month of October.

0bama isn’t going to have his ‘worst week’ until he stands before Almighty God to answer for himself, and then he’ll be dealing with his ‘worst eternity’.

“Brutal week for Obama, the worst of his presidency’”

If the msm took up this mantra, it would have a meaningful effect. But since they won’t , it means little.

Obama’s own “March Madness” has displayed the true character of the man for all to see.

Not that you will see any trace of embarrassment in the face of Mr. Obama. He has mastered the high political art of shamelessness, wearing it smugly and cockily. Kind of like a hoodie.

LOL .. better put some ice on that, baraq !

May he have many more such weeks.

Let’s hope America wakes up by November 6th.

while true....his numbers are very good right now. I’d sure like a decline in the polls to go along with this.
