Report: Obama in jaws of political death

Mark Halperin has an article in the liberal leaning Time Magazine titled, Why Obama Is Losing the Political War (see link below).

Barack Obama is being politically crushed in a vise.

From above, by elite opinion about his competence.

From below, by mass anger and anxiety over unemployment. And it is too late for him to do anything about this predicament until after November's election.

With the exception of core Obama Administration loyalists, most politically engaged elites have reached the same conclusions:

The White House is in over its head, isolated, insular, arrogant and clueless about how to get along with or persuade members of Congress, the media, the business community or working-class voters.

Mr. Halperin didn't mince words!

In November we will find out how many voters feel that way about Mr. Obama. After all, the elections in November will be a referendum on the White House.
