Malaise is back. President Barack Obama’s situation is getting perilously close to President Jimmy Carter’s in 1979. …
Americans become deeply disturbed if they see events spinning out of control and their elected leaders incapable of managing them. That was the perception that doomed Carter. It is now becoming a problem for Obama.
The American public actually agrees with most of Obama’s policies, particularly his caution in making foreign-policy commitments. They are also terrified of what Republicans would do if they ever took over.
But the public doesn’t see any results. CONT.
