The Hill reports that President Obama’s second-term “honeymoon” may have come to a screeching halt.

What a revoltin’ development that is, right?

No one on Earth should be surprised to see Obama’s poll numbers sink. He saw his popularity spike a bit after his re-election this past November. Now some polls have his approval rating at less than 50 percent.

Good thing he’s not running for re-election in 2016.

But is this a surprise? Not at all. Other recent two-term presidents have experienced similar poll plunges. Even the late, great Ronald Reagan, the patron saint of today’s tea party wing of the GOP – fresh off his landslide win in 1984 and an improving economy – suffered a decline in the polls.

But few presidents have taken office lugging quite the amount of baggage that weighed down Barack Obama. The economy was in free-fall; the world’s No. 1 terrorist, Osama bin Laden, was still on the loose; the nation was involved in a two-front war, in Afghanistan and Iraq. Obama did take some executive actions that stopped the free-fall; he ordered the May 2011 commando raid that killed bin Laden; the war in Iraq has ended and it’s about to end in Afghanistan.

Yes, the economy is still struggling to regain its full head of steam. However, some of Obama’s congressional critics are insisting on a change of emphasis. They’re stalling legislation. They’re resisting key appointments. Their effort to make Obama a “one-term president” has failed, so they’re settling on Plan B, which is to make his second term as uncomfortable as possible.

Thus, it’s no surprise to see Obama’s “honeymoon” come to an end – as if he ever got to enjoy one in the first place.
