GRIMNESS FOR OBAMA – AT 9:31 A.M. ET:  I'm sure he sometimes wonders where it all went.  He remembers the time in the 2008 campaign when he was treated like a king, even being cheered in Berlin.  What Obama never realized is that, after you're elected president you have to be president.  He hasn't a clue as to how to do that.  From Breitbart: 

At least nine other states approve of President Barack Obama at the same or lower rate as Louisiana.
An analysis of Huffington Post polling data reveals that Obama's approval rating in Louisiana is 39%. According to the Huffington Post's own figures, the following states rate Obama's approval at 39% or lower:

Alaska
Arkansas
Florida
Kansas
Kentucky
Montana
South Dakota
Tennessee
West Virginia

Embattled Democratic Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-LA) sparked a firestorm of controversy on Thursday when she told NBC's Chuck Todd that Southern racism was to blame for Obama's unpopularity among Louisiana voters. Her Senate opponents, Rep. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) and Col. Rob Maness (USAF, ret.), blasted Landrieu's controversial remarks and called for her to apologize to Louisianans.
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal (R-LA) also expressed outrage. "She's basically calling the people of Louisiana, she's calling all of us in the South racists..."  Jindal is, of course, a man of color.  His family is from India, and he's been elected governor twice. 

And...

Obama is nearly as unpopular throughout the nation as he is in Louisiana and the nine states the Huffington Post noted. According to Gallup, only 41% of America approves of Obama.

COMMENT:  We've seen other presidents slip in popularity, but I don't think we've seen a president so anointed as royalty at the start of his term, and so deep in the deep dumps as he looks to his last two years in office.  I don't really think he can recover unless he starts realizing that all wisdom is not between his ears.
