Obama — Thus, America — 2009 Loser

By Curt Smith

“Presidents,” wrote Douglass Cater, “like great French restaurants, have an ambiance all their own.” Each year does, too: 2009’s, annus horibilus. Seldom have so many failed at so much.

Tiger Woods met a fire hydrant — and the hydrant won. Michael Jackson’s memorial service starred narcissism meets exhibitionism. Hollywood excused director Roman Polanski for raping a 13-year-old. Barack Obama’s change we can believe in became change that defied below. Below, a year sadly impossible to forget:

Faux Messiah award. Vowing to part waters, Obama instead drowned, falling from 70 to 43 percent Rasmussen poll approval: worst first-year rating of any President. Whyfores included 10 percent unemployment, 3.4 million jobs lost, and ObamaCare one columnist dubs “a political suicide pact.”
