The roll-out of the Affordable Care Act has hatched a spasm of obituaries for Obama’s second term, and more than a few for Liberalism as We Know It. That’s right, Error 404: Ideology Not Found. At best, pundits have surmised that Obama’s popularity will never recover.

This sounds like utter nonsense to me even though I
respect her reporting. I don't have that impression of him
or his second term at all. I bet MANY people don't have
that impression of him. It is beltway propaganda brought
to you by General Electric or somebody.
