Obama Has Put Himself on Island

Some presidents begin their tenure with great popularity and then gradually lose the allegiance of one group after another. That’s what is happening to President Barack Obama, Politico reports.

Congressional Democrats are now upset with him for causing massive losses in last week’s elections. Democratic state party leaders are peeved at the White House’s incompetent political operation. Democratic lobbyists are repulsed by his snobbishness toward their profession. Cabinet members have been rendered irrelevant.

Obama’s relentless pounding of the business community has turned off corporate leaders. “Add in his icy relations with Republicans, the media and, most importantly, most voters, and it’s easy to understand why his own staff leaked word to Politico that they want Obama to shake up his staff and change his political approach,” the news service reports.
