Leftwing Incompetence

We knew Barack Obama was a leftwing ideologue and hoped against hope that he would govern from the center. Now it appears that he is an incompetent leftwing ideologue. He has done the impossible by alienating both the left and the right and scaring the liver out of the center as he tacks first this way and then that, all the while blaming Republicans when he theoretically has the votes within his own party to get whatever he wants. If the president cannot lead the Democrats, how can he lead the country?
