Who knew?

It turns out that former community organizers and untenured law lecturers don't make good Presidents. What a shocker. I mean I didn't see this coming. Simon Heffer has more:

If President Obama carries on like this, he will turn into a lame duck - Telegraph: "The shock about coming to America after an absence of four months is how, in that time, respect for and confidence in President Obama has slumped. It wasn't good in March; now the effect of what one blogger has called his apparent 'impotence' has taken hold. It is not clear what Mr Obama actually does. He isn't engaged with the economy; he certainly isn't engaged with foreign policy; he has abandoned hope of a climate change bill this year (and probably for ever); he has seen his health care bill into law, but America awaits news of how it will be implemented; he is under attack for a casual approach to illegal immigration, notably from the Mexican narco-state. He has only just girded himself to go campaigning for his party in the mid-term elections. Last Sunday was the 100-days-to-go mark, and the talk in politics here is of little else. Joe Biden, the vice-president, has been nominated as 'campaigner in chief'. Why? What is the President doing?"
