And months later pundits begin to come around to what I’ve been pounding for over a year
Michael Goodwin:
Move over Jimmy Carter, Obama has my vote for worst president — ever
America has had some great presidents, many mediocre ones and a few bad ones. But we’ve never had one like Barack Obama. He’s the first who thinks the job is beneath him.
He’s the first who turns political give-and-take into a crisis by refusing to negotiate with Congress.
He’s the first who thinks the way to more power is to inflict pain on ordinary people.
The move to barricade the World War II memorial reveals the mentality of a tin-pot dictator. The limited government shutdown did not need to affect the memorial because it is open 24 hours, without gates and often without guards.
But to turn public opinion in his favor, Obama’s goons trucked in barricades to keep out World War II vets and other visitors. By one estimate, the barricades and workers cost $100,000.
The same punish-the-people attitude led to shutdowns of other parks and historic sites that get no federal funding.
“We’ve been told to make life as difficult for people as we can. It’s disgusting,” a Park Service ranger told The Washington Times.
The ranger cited the order to close the parking lot at George Washington’s home in Mount Vernon so visitors couldn’t use it. The cheap trick captured the contrast between a revered president and the current one.
I’ve been saying for a while that there is no bottom to Obama. He’s not just ruthless. He’s without scruples and honor.
However the shutdown ends, it will bring only a temporary respite from the crisis atmosphere in Washington. When it comes to his countrymen, Obama always chooses conflict over cooperation.
Meanwhile, Jimmy Carter can rest easy. We have a new worst president.
Personal arrogance and hubris.
Self entitlement and elitism
Superiority and divisive venom restrained by a need for political success, and ambition controlled only by opportunity.
Contempt for the Constitution and founders, sure that profit is evil in origin and result.
Willingness to commit any act in an endless campaign to destroy other Americans who he sees as the real enemies rather than serve the nation by taking less than he demands.
And what do those who Obama sees as the enemy actually want?
Fiscal responsibility and adherence to the founding document.
This is what makes Obama the worst president. Worse even than Buchanan.
Bitter opposition to fiscal responsibility and adherence to the founding document.
Why?
