www.weeklystandard.com/articles/overrated_594676.htmlBrilliant article. Opening paragraph: For a success, Barack Obama is a very bad politician, the worst politician to win the presidency by an electoral landslide, to never lose a major election, or to rise to the presidency from a state legislature in little more than four years. He has gone from sterling campaigner to put-upon leader; from the new FDR to the next Jimmy Carter; from being the orator who could hold millions spellbound to the man who moves no one at all. The man who promised everything is delivering nothing. Journalists who wept when he won the election now grind their teeth in despair. Maureen Dowd admits he isn’t the one for whom even he had been waiting. The gap between sizzle and steak never seemed so large or alarming, and inquiring minds want to know what went wrong.

Shocking, really.

Is Obama really over-rated today? I mean, sure he was over-rated in 2008 - but now? Who really believes that he is The Saviour and can walk on water today?

I agree with Ross (shocking) and Lundblad. He's fallen so badly that he's no longer over rated. Misnomer of a title aside, the article documents that fall from grace. Thought it was interesting enough.
