You know it's bad...

...when your own media allies turn against you.

Liberal Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank has finally recognized what we conservatives have been saying for this entire term. Obama has checked out.

Obama vacations as the world burns

"Hillary Rodham Clinton, his once-loyal secretary of state and his likeliest successor, has gone rogue, criticizing his foreign policy as too timid.
Obama responded with not one but two rounds of golf..."

"...Obama stood on the South Lawn on Saturday updating Americans on the new bombing campaign in Iraq — and then he boarded Marine One for a two-week trip to Martha’s Vineyard. There, half an hour after arriving at his vacation home, he was already on his way to a golf course. He played again Sunday, then had a beach outing Monday followed by a political fundraiser."

"...By Monday afternoon, the crises had forced Obama to revise his schedule. The White House announced that the president, after returning from the beach, would make an unscheduled statement about Iraq...Obama finished his four-minute statement and then hopped in his motorcade for the ride to a Democratic fundraiser."

Hi Patrick:

That's huge coming from Dana Milbank.

In a similar piece, Maureen Dowd skewered Hillary in her NYT column today, which is not surprising, that is Dowd's style. Still, the reader's comments that were marked as "NYT editor's picks" were decidedly anti-HRC. I wonder how far this will go? Far enough to push Hillary out of the race? I doubt it, but you never know.
