Michael Goodwin: Obama "a spectacular failure"

The New York Post's Michael Goodwin suffered through watching President Obama's truth-challenged press conference on Monday. I was in the waiting lounge at a mechanic's--I couldn't do what he did. Turn off the TV.

Goodwin had seen enough.

His presidency is a spectacular failure, his historic mandate squandered by adherence to leftist ideology and relentless partisanship. His policies are crushing the prospects for growth and dooming the hopes of 24 million Americans who are unemployed or working part-time.

Yet he is not going to change. He listens only to his own voice, which is why he has lost virtually his entire economic team.

The biggest media myth is that he is a centrist. Oh, please. It's a theory without evidence, for there is not a single example on domestic issues where he voluntarily staked out a spot in the American middle.

Sure, on occasion, Obama will be to the right of the far, far left, but that is not the center. That just means he's not Michael Moore.

Please, please return this man to academia so students can fall asleep in his classroom again.
