Ok, I call BS on the very first sentence.

The voters did NOT give him a strong mandate for a 2nd term.

He won re-election with a smaller percentage of the vote than he won his first election by.

The margin in the electoral college was smaller too, in 2012 than in 2008.

He was a rare presidential re-election in which the candidate lost support between his first and second elections.

Even Bush, who won two very close elections, gained support in his re-election, compared to his first election.

Ok, will keep reading some more now.........

He needs someone in this country to give him the Wyatt Earp treatment. Unfortunately the only one doing it is Putin.

***Hour by hour he gets smaller and smaller ***

Same with Jimmy Carter. In his last two years, cartoonists began to draw him smaller and smaller.

I just wish he would follow his dream, return to Indonesia, and become a ladyboy prostitute.

He is now making no attempt to conceal his contempt for America and all it represents. God Save the Republic!

With 30 months to go, Obama still may have a chance to regain control of both the domestic and international agendas,

No way. Why would he be able to change the scandal pattern he has had since Day One?

Most people think the scandals just started a year or so ago. But that's because they weren't in on Michelle's SpainGate, Copenhagen and the Olympics, the overturning of leaders in Libya and Egypt the Beer Summit, etc. etc. etc. since the media didn't report those widely. I think the change in reporting began with the "red line" of Syria. The media took more notice.

Obama's governing style is to create scandal after scandal and that will continue. The difference is that now the public is paying more attention so it's possible people will begin to see who Obama really is.

Less than two years after voters gave President Barack Obama a strong mandate for a second term

One of the axioms of media bias is to reverse statements such as this to see if the converse makes more sense. Thus:

"Less than two years after voters once again told the Republican Party that their Presidential candidates need to be actual conservatives..."

The prosecution rests.

Damned shame the nipplehead American people ever gave him a second chance.

We bear a lot of that blame, by NOT voting.

We could have stopped a lot of this, if we could have gotten aligned.

Damn the GOP, they are setting us up for failure again.
Then they go smoke cigars and drink cognac with the libs, pat each other on the back in private clubs and congratulate one another.

“Boy we sure put one over on the rubes”

THROW THE BUMS OUT!! *but pick your battles*

Right out of the Alinsky play book.

Never let a crisis go to waste, and never forget to create the crisis, with plausible deniabilty.

Note to the American people: do not elect another narcissist sociopath as President. Obama is demonstrating that they are completely incapable of executing the duties of the office.

He won by fewer votes. These people are amazing.

No, he is just shedding his masks — what you see today is what he has always been.

Lest we forget at least an over-the-shoulder acknowledgment to the very first radical: from all our legends, mythology, and history (and who is to know where mythology leaves off and history begins — or which is which), the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom — Lucifer.

From the forward to "Rules for radicals" by Saul Alinsky

The NY Daily News punts pretty much to the left so overall it’s a cave-in...
