President Obama is sinking fast these days. Just look at what is going on:
1. Obama went to Asia on a trip which was supposed to have a new trade agreement with Japan as its big accomplishment. Obama came and went from Japan, but no trade agreement was reached. our most important ally in the Far East, a country which is facing a major threat from China, still said no to Obama.
2. Ukraine is about to be swallowed up (or at least partly swallowed) by Russia. Obama has condemned the move in some rather tepid language and imposed sanctions on a few men in Moscow. Each time Obama announces sanctions, the Russian stock market soars because the Russian public understands that they are meaningless. Indeed, everyone understands that the sanctions are meaningless no matter what Obama says.
3. The latest discovery regarding the terror attack in Benghazi reveals yet another major lie coming from the Obama White House. This time, the lie is the one that the Obamacrats told the American people after al Qaeda related terrorists attacked our consulate on September 11, a diplomatic installation which was left largely unprotected by Obama and Hillary despite specific threats that both were aware of ahead of time and despite written requests by the ambassador (who was murdered in the attack) for increased security. Obama and his people blamed the attack on a youtube video and told that story relentlessly for three weeks during the election campaign. When it was clear that the video story was phony, the Obamacrats claim that they were misled by the CIA. Well now we have email from a very high White House staffer making clear that the whole "blame the video" effort came right from the top of the White House. It requires flipping the old chant that the left used to use against George Bush. "People died, Obama LIED!!!"
4. Secretary of State John Kerry is under siege. First, Kerry spent months on a clearly fruitless effort to get some resolution to the Israel - Palestinian situation despite the Palestinians making clear that they would never agree to the most basic demand from Israel. Israel wanted the Palestinians to agree that in a peace treaty, the Palestinians would recognize Israel and its right to exist as a Jewish state. Abbas of the PA said no. No country would voluntarily agree to a peace deal where its adversary expected it to end its existence. Even a moron like Kerry should have understood that fact. Instead, when the talks broke down, Kerry said Israel could become an "apartheid state". It was and is crazy. The response has been so great that #Kerryshouldresign was trending on Twitter for a long time.
5. Obama has been pushing for a higher minimum wage as a centerpiece to the Democrats campaign this year. That effort is going to die today in a Senate vote. That's right, the Senate which is controlled by the Democrats is going to kill Obama's effort.
There's a lot more. Obama's critics are now questioning his manhood, but those are critics from his own party. It is a symptom of the constant shrinking of the president. The Greek god who stood in front of phony Greek columns in Denver in 2008 to accept nomination to the presidency, did not go to Olympus but rather to a starring role in "The Incredible Shrinking President".
The sad problem, however, is that our new mini-president still has over two years in office.
