Obama paying the price for his lies

The New York Post's Michael Goodwin, who voted for Obama in 2009, looks as the disaster known as the Obama presidency. Yesterday a Quinnipiac poll found that Americans view him as the worst president since World War II. Yes, worse than Jimmy Carter and Richard Nixon.

Let me be clear: Obama is flirting with disaster. This and other polls show he is losing ground with every group, including African-Americans.

Most important, clear majorities no longer trust him and no longer believe he is capable of leading the country.

His policies, especially ObamaCare, were never popular, but the accumulation of his failures has eroded his ability to defy political gravity.

That's what happens when you get caught in too many lies and broken promises about fixing the economy. And don't underestimate the impact of the global chaos on Americans' sour mood.
