Obama: When the Fun Stops

This whole piece has a tone of mean-spirited glee at perception of what the author evidently hopes (perhaps prematurely?) to be the collapse of the Obama Presidency, but on this bit I think he may be onto something:
President Obama's ... every career and personal move seemed to be calculated to reach the next-highest step, job performance and competence on the current gig irrelevant. When there is no next-highest step, one might be forgiven for feeling out of sorts. Until the United Nations creates the Office of President of the World, Mr. Obama will just have to wait it out in the prison called the White House.
But then, I never wanted the job in the first place.

I think plenty of people are growing tired of Obama. Those who live as celebrities are of necessity creatures of the fickle public's whim. To say nothing of the fact that more are staring to notice that, while Obama talks a lot, he doesn't ever say very much.
