Where stands the credibility of this Democrat administration?

Remember this? Letterman Writer Boasts of Discrediting McCain, Obama 'Too Competent' to Joke About
It's not because he's black and it's not because we're afraid. It's just that he's, just so far, just a little too damn competent and we ain't used to that. [multiple panelists say “yeah.”]

Victor Davis Hanson: Obama’s Credibility Gap   "But the distortions and broken promises have now become so frequent that many at home and abroad are finally tuning out the president. Almost nothing promised about the Affordable Care Act is proving true. Contrary to presidential assurances, Obamacare has not lowered premiums or deductibles. It will not reduce the deficit or improve business competitiveness. It really will alter existing health plans and in some cases lead to their cancellation. Signing up is certainly not as easy as buying something online on Amazon."
....
"Yet after nearly five years of scandals, untruths, and hard economic times, a now-ignored Barack Obama has finally learned that even an iconic president can tell one too many untruths."
Letter in the Chicago Tribune: Obama's health care lies are shameful  "The American people should be outraged that Mr. Obama openly lied to them not once but many, many times touting that they could keep their insurance. ... Like President Richard Nixon and President Bill Clinton, President Obama's actions have brought shame to the position and our country. President Obama probably will skate the impeachment process because, unlike President Nixon, he is smart enough not to have any recordings of his intentions."

Thomas Sowell: Obama and the Art of Phoniness   "Like other truly talented phonies, Barack Obama concentrates his skills on the effect of his words on other people — most of whom do not have the time to become knowledgeable about the things he is talking about. Whether what he says bears any relationship to the facts is politically irrelevant. A talented con man or a slick politician does not waste his time trying to convince knowledgeable skeptics. His job is to keep the true believers believing."
Mark Steyn: Obama’s Melting Wings  ..."Of his talks with Vladimir Putin, the president said, “With respect to Syria, we do have differing perspectives on the problem, but we share an interest in reducing the violence.” Putin aims to reduce the violence by getting his boy Assad to kill everyone he needs to. Obama aims to reduce the violence by giving a speech about the “intolerance that fuels extremism” — or is it the other way round? The world understands that Putin means it and Obama doesn’t — just as in Afghanistan everyone knows the Taliban means it and the fainthearted superpower doesn’t."
