Fareed Zakaria: Although he brought a lot of star power -- the talk of the week -- at least in certain circles in Washington, New York and London -- has been that President Obama is failing in his role as leader of the free world. British columnist Jonathan Freedland wrote in The Guardian newspaper that President Obama looks neither like JFK nor FDR but rather JEC -- that's James Earl Carter -- better known here as Jimmy Carter.

First, the Chinese have called for a new reserve currency to replace the dollar. This would never have happened 10 years ago -- back then, they needed America too much.

He's in over his head. And by "he" I mean Obama and his entourage.

It's starting to sink in.

With old-fashioned common-sense git-r-done American values.

Obama was practically invisible as a senator. It should not surprise anyone that he might diminish the presidency substantially. Just by virtue of who he is and what he stands for and what he fights for.

No deflection allowed. You helped to get this oaf elected.

It will be amusing to read your posts in 4 years, as you desperately try to find a way to explain all the success Obama had as president.

Careful Babs- you may also become the epitome of evil if you disagree a bit more with Il Pad, the CG voice of reason and truth (think Rocky, but now with bigger balls!).

This oaf's policies are already stemming the economic crisis we have been in for close to a year.

Obama will have succeeded wildly when he has a majority of voters in this country paying zero income tax and a substantial portion of them on food-stamps and welfare, entirely dependent on wealth-distribution.

Babs won't be on the receiving end of any shots, because she's not a condescending asshole.

Time to put the ignore feature to use. Fuck off and die.
