With new troubles, questions mount about Obama's competence

From Byron York at the Washington Examiner:
Last fall's disastrous rollout of Obamacare did terrible damage to the public's trust in Obama's ability to run the government. A November 2013 CNN poll found that just 40 percent of those surveyed believe Obama "can manage the government effectively."

Fixing the Obamacare website -- sort of -- did little to improve Obama's reputation. In a Quinnipiac poll in January of this year, 53 percent said the administration is not "competent in running the government," while just 42 percent said it is competent.

Now comes the Veterans Affairs hospital scandal, and the president again appears in over his head. It seems inevitable that public opinion of Obama's competence will fall still more. The president and Democrats can blame Republicans -- has there ever been a moment when they didn't? -- but the fact is, voters have less and less faith in Obama's ability to run the government.

That loss of faith could shape his last two years in the White House. Obama has two great policy goals left -- to "fix" the nation's "broken" immigration system, and to enact draconian restrictions on carbon emissions.
I asked every liberal I know, why did they voted for the Dear Leader twice, when he hasn't shown any ability to run the country. And they answer usually was, "Well, he's very smart."

I'm have always doubted the claims of the Dear Leader's intellect and he has shown that my beliefs are true. The man CAN campaign and win, but he has proven over the last 6 years, he CAN"T govern.
