The President Is No B+
In fact, he's got the worst ratings of any president at the end of his first year.
Barack
Obama has won a place in history with the worst ratings of any
president at the end of his first year: 49% approve and 46% disapprove
of his job performance in the latest USA Today/Gallup Poll.
There are many factors that explain it, including weakness abroad,
an unprecedented spending binge at home, and making a perfectly awful
health-care plan his signature domestic initiative. But something else
is happening.
Mr. Obama has not governed as the
centrist, deficit-fighting, bipartisan consensus builder he promised to
be. And his promise to embody a new kind of politics—free of
finger-pointing, pettiness and spin—was a mirage. He has cheapened his
office with needless attacks on his predecessor.
