With poll numbers plummeting and his presidency becoming a very unpopular one, U.S. President Obama, has taken to the airwaves, in an attempt to charm the nation. Obama is also undertaking a summer tour of U.S. cities, to gain support for his floundering presidency that went from 60MPH to 0MPH over the course of one year. The honeymoon certainly didn't last long, but this is squarely Obama's fault.
Rather than assume office and make sensible, prudent financial cuts, eliminate wasteful programs and dedicate a small set of funds to those that truly needed it, Obama essentially threw money out the window, hoping it would land in the right places and 90% of the time it did not.

The Judiciary Report endorsed financial assistance for companies like GM in the auto sector and it paid off, as they regained some footing and repaid the loan. The Judiciary Report endorsed financial assistance for AIG, as they are such a large company, with so many tentacles in a number of U.S. and foreign sectors, to have denied them help, would have meant a massive collapse, bearing a domino effect.
While they have returned to profitability, the Obama Administration did not have proper controls on how the money was distributed and excessive bonuses were issued out of taxpayer money.
The Obama Administration and it's predecessor, also threw money at a number of financial companies that did not need the assistance, essentially hording taxpayer money at their respective corporations, running up the national deficit.

The Judiciary Report has endorsed scaling back on FBI, CIA and NSA spying activities, being conducted against millions of Americans, as not only is it illegal, it is costing the nation tens of billions of dollars. There are a number of other wasteful programs that need to be revised and reined in as well.
Rather than wasting time on a number of vacations and publicity tours, Obama should be at the White House, feverishly working to correct the number of wrongs that have occurred and seeking and implementing ways to improve America, after the massive damage it has sustained.
There is a fine line in pruning and prepping a government for success and the Obama Administration has crossed that line and landed on the wrong side of it. Not to mention, the wrong side of world history.
