Obama Ratings Slide: We've Seen this Act Before

You can pass trillion dollar stimuli packages and ramp up record budget deficits. You can tinker with the laws of the land.

But you can't repeal the law of diminishing returns.

President Obama's big 100th Day prime time "simulcast" experienced a 29 percent drop in viewers over his last prime timer presser, and he's down 46 percent from the first one on February 9.

It's all part of the law of supply and demand. Mr. Obama shows up on TV news nearly every day, gets quoted constantly, and his staff makes sure that his sound bites are out there for all to see and hear. He's over-saturated and is showing no signs of realizing it. There's a lot of supply and the demand is diminishing, for good reason.

His so-called press conferences are a lot like his town hall meetings: total jokes. He only answers softball questions and, when someone slips in a real question, he "uhs" an un-prompted string of words together until either someone Blackberries his answer or he comes up with a semi-artful dodge.

The public is starting to catch on, as it always does, usually later rather than sooner. People have questions but his answers are typically to questions that no one outside of the sycophantic MSM is asking. The never-ending Obama campaign is wearing thin. It's kind of like watching those football players who prance and preen every time they get close to the end zone, who spike the ball and then victory dance a first-and-ten.

Mr. President, you have the job already. Everyone has accepted it by now, supporters and loyal opposition alike. Get over yourself and start acting like you've been there before.
