The Obama Presidency

Victor David Hanson asks: "How did we get here?"

One wonders how the United States has come to the brink of nominating and probably electing someone with almost no experience as either an executive or national legislator, replete with ratings and rankings that suggest he will be about the most liberal Presidential candidate since George McGovern.
Hanson has answers. You should read them.

How does America find itself in our present position - being ruled in an authoritarian manner by an extremely unpopular and incompetent president with consistently low approval ratings who has abused power, ignored all manner oversight, refused to abide by constitutional checks and balances, and subverted numerous laws?

If you go by Congressional approval rating the people think the Democrats are worse.

I think the same conclusion will be reached in the coming election.
