Poll: At Obama's 5-yr point, few see a turnaround

12. The Obamacare rollout was not "brought on himself". It was sabotaged from the very beginning.

If you kept up with the entire story, from the bidding process (and the fact that the contract was deliberately underfunded by the Republicans), to the fact that healthcare.gov was never meant to be the main vehicle through which people could sign up to purchase medical insurance. They were supposed to site up via their own state's established health care exchange site. Obama's biggest failure was trusting Republican governors to make good on their part of the bargain to create those websites and expand Medicaid in their respective states. Healthcare.gov was never built to hold that much traffic. That has been corrected.

And nothing was wrong with his foreign policy, either. We're not going to war with anyone. Hopefully we're out of Afghanistan, 100%!

The problem with Americans--both liberals and conservatives--is that we've set the bar so high for this president, a bar that was never set this high for any other president in the history of this nation. (I can guess why, too!)

Had Bush II or Clinton captured bin Laden, their faces would have been plastered on Mt. Rushmore, no questions asked. No controversy. That this president hasn't been able to enjoy any modicum of success, no matter what he has accomplished, says so much. That he seldom receives credit for anything, no matter what it is, but accepts blame for most things that go wrong, from BOTH the political left and the political right, speaks to something much larger happening in the American psyche. Maybe one of these days in the future when he has long passed from the scene, we'll figure out what it is about Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. that won't allow the average American to give this man FULL and complete credit for anything that he does right, but directs blame for any and everything that goes wrong, no matter who's really at fault. I really hope that we do some soul searching one of these days to look into this perplexing phenomenon.
