Thank these Republicans for Obamacare

Ann Coulter  "We have Obamacare for one reason and one reason only: For a brief, ghoulish period in recent history, Democrats controlled the White House, the Senate, and the House of Representatives.
"We don’t have Obamacare because the public was clamoring for it. We have it because Republicans lost elections."  Full Article.
....
"When your new health insurance premiums arrive in the mail, and you can’t find a doctor in your plan who speaks English, tell me the fight between Republicans and Democrats is not that important."

Watcher’s Council Nominations – ObamaCare Trick Or Treat Edition 

The World's Most Powerful People 2013 (UPDATED)

Forbes

"Who’s more powerful: the autocratic leader of a former superpower or the handcuffed commander in chief of the most dominant country in the world? This year the votes for the World’s Most Powerful went to Russian President Vladimir Putin. He climbs one spot ahead of U.S. President Barack Obama, who held the title in 2012."....

UPDATE: Is Putin Really More Powerful Than Obama?   "The second and far bigger point is that Barack Obama is weak internationally by choice. At home he’s amassing immense, unprecedented powers over the economy."...



....
"Internationally, however, Obama is the weakest President of the post-World War II years."  (Emphasis added, TD)

The President Who Has Done the Most Damage

"The only question is whether it can ever be undone. "

Dennis Prager   ...."But I have never written or broadcast that our country was being seriously damaged by a president. So it is with great sadness that I write that President Barack Obama has done and continues to do major damage to America. The only question is whether this can ever be undone."....

"....Nearly everything he has touched has been made worse.
"He did, however, promise before the 2008 election that “We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America.” That is the one promise he has kept."

NY Times: Where the Buck Stops, Some See a Bystander  "President Obama finds himself under fire on two disparate fronts these days, both for the botched rollout of his signature health care program and for the secret spying on allied heads of state. In both instances, his explanation roughly boils down to this: I didn’t know."

Controversies show how Obama’s inattention to detail may hurt his presidential legacy    From Hot Air: "Let’s start with the latter example from Scott Wilson, whose posits that talking big and having no interest in doing the necessary work forms a coherent management philosophy:"....

 

Reposted from an earlier TW:  Victor Davis Hanson: Is Obama Still President?   "His cadences soar on, through scandal after fiasco after disaster."

 

­What didn’t the president know, and why didn’t he know it?   "Once you lose a reputation for competence, it is hard to get back. And much of the media are now depicting Obama as less than a hands-on leader.
"Take this slap in the face:
“ 'For a smart man, President Obama professes to know very little about a great number of things going on in his administration.' ”  Dana Milbank of the WaPo.

Obama just got used to saying things that were never challenged  "President, and before, candidate Obama had the benefit of saying things that the media never challenged.  It's true that they were challenged by the GOP but that is partisan.  What we did not have was an aggressive, but respectful media."
