Perusing through the local paper, I open to a section with a huge iconic watercolor picture of Barack Obama with probably one of the truest headlines about his tenure thus far…”Obama’s Domestic Policy Teeters” It goes on to elaborate on points I’ve been spouting off about for the past 6 months, including failed policy after failed policy that Mr. President keeps introducing. Here is a rather lengthy excerpt that requires very little explanation:

Barely six months into his presidency, Barack Obama seems to be driving south into that political speed trap known as Carter Country: a sad-sack landscape in which every major initiative meets not just with failure but with scorn from political allies and foes alike.
…
According to a July 13 CBS News poll, the once-unassailable president’s approval rating now stands at 57 percent, down 11 points from April. Half of Americans think the recession will last an additional two years or more, 52 percent think Obama is trying to “accomplish too much,” and 57 percent think the country is on the “wrong track.”
…
From a lousy cap-and-trade bill awaiting death in the Senate to a health-care reform agenda already weak in the knees to the failure of the stimulus to deliver promised jobs and economic activity, what once looked like a hope-tastic juggernaut is showing all the horsepower of a Chevy Cobalt. “Give it to me!” the president egged on a Michigan audience last week, pledging to “solve problems” and not “gripe” about the economic hand he was dealt.

Props go to Matt Welch and Nick Gellespie of Reason magazine and Reason.com for putting our this article that’s full of the one thing the MSM has had a lack of in recent months concerning the O-ministration. In case you missed it or just didn’t feel like reading the above quote, here’s a recap of the truest pioints of the article:

• Obama’s administration can be likened to that of the Carter Administration.
• Major policy initiatives are now failing on both sides of the isle.
• Two major campaign promises, a hefty cap-and-trade bill and an even more comprehensive health-care reform bill, are on the back burner at best.
• Obama’s poll numbers are falling faster than the unemployment rate.
• 57% of people thing the country is on the “wrong track” (which is a sign we may be getting back on the “right” track)
• After bailout after bailout and what can be regarding as a complete failure in domestic economic policy resulting from stimulus package lacking in results, Obama’s job as president thus far was compared to a completely lacking model of car developed by a company of which we are all now 1/307,011,86 owners.

If this isn’t a sign we’re getting back on track as a country, I don’t know what is.
