The recent Washington Post headline says it all "Poll shows growing disappointment, polarization over Obama's performance". Exactly one year after he took office, the majority of the American people say President Obama is not delivering on his major campaign promises and over a third say he is falling short of their expectations. (source) This is not a sign of a fickle electorate. This is what happens when millions of people are conned by someone who has no idea how to do the job he has sworn to do.

In his address to the nation on Thursday in which he outlined his administration's latest approach to terrorism, President Obama said, "Instead of giving into cynicism and division, let's move forward with the confidence and optimism and unity that defines us as a people.

President Obama finally made a public statement about the terrorist attack on Flight 253 that occurred on Christmas Day. It was not remarkable in its content including statements such as "This was a serious reminder of the dangers that we face and the nature of those who threaten our homeland" and "We will not rest until we find all who were involved and hold them accountable". (See video of the president's statement here.) What was interesting was the timing of the statement coming three days after the actual event and only after much criticism of the president's silence on the matter. Perhaps most interesting of all was the way some in the liberal media combined objective news reporting with custom made excuses for Mr. Obama's latest misstep.
