The Obama Problem is simple to explain but impossible to solve. The problem
is Obama himself, and most people not named Barack or Michelle understand
that.
President Obama's political career is in free-fall. He will not be
reelected. Many Democrats and media personalities now understand what
appeared impossible even mere months ago.
Mr. Obama burst onto the political scene as a relatively unknown wunderkind.

Although that’s quite a provocative question, evidence is mounting that

creation of the liberal media. Indeed, the more we dig into his past, the
