President Obama is on the way to joining an exclusive club. It is the club of failed one-term presidents.
During the presidential campaign, Mr. Obama sold himself as a pragmatic moderate. In fact, he is the very opposite. He is an internationalist socialist whose policies will lead to ruin at home and defeat abroad. They will also doom his re-election efforts. He is flirting with political disaster.
Despite his many flaws, former President Bill Clinton established the model for successful Democratic administrations. Mr. Clinton governed as a liberal centrist. He realized that veering too far to the left early in his presidency was detrimental: His support of Hillarycare and gays in the military resulted in the 1994 Republican takeover of Congress. Mr. Clinton changed course by embracing free trade, welfare reform and balanced budgets -- combining fiscal responsibility and social liberalism. This formula prevented the Republican Party from recapturing the White House in 1996.
Mr. Obama is the anti-Clinton. He is a leftist ideologue who has surrounded himself with radical and inept advisers. Mr. Clinton had political counselor Dick Morris and Treasury Secretary Robert E. Rubin. Mr. Obama has David Axelrod and Timothy F. Geithner.
As a result, Mr. Obama's presidency is starting to look like the worst in 100 years. His $787 billion fiscal stimulus has failed to restore economic recovery. Unemployment remains high.
Growth is anemic.
His massive spending is projected to yield record budget deficits of $1.8 trillion this year and $1.3 trillion next year. Over the next decade, according to the Obama administration's own estimates, the debt will explode by more than $10 trillion. These soaring deficits threaten to cripple our long-term prosperity and economic security. No country has sustained this kind of massive borrowing and spending without becoming a second-class nation. America is going the way of Argentina.

NOTE: Washington Times has nailed what is happening as Americans are waking up to what some of them voted for after a high percentage of the news media covered completely for Obama during the campaign allowing him to get by saying he was a moderate. Moderates don't attend elementary schools as a Muslim, have the Communist Franklin Davis as a mentor in High School, and hang out in Chicago with domestic terrorists and 'hate whitey' crowd. That is pure liberal socialism bordering on communism where everyone should be paid the same and get the same benefits except the elitists who want to the Ruling class. One slight problem facing this Administration, AMERICA is WAKING UP finally! JUST SAY NO to the OBAMA AGENDA!
