Liberal NY Times columnist suffering 'crisis of confidence' in Obama

Charles Blow, a liberal New York Times columnist, writes on President Obama's declining favor with the public:

The White House is now feeling the consequences of floundering, a failure and a fallacy. ...

I have no doubt that the website will eventually be fixed. The only question is whether it will be fixed by the end of November, as the administration has aimed for. ...

Exceeding that date would blow yet another hole in people’s confidence that the administration has a handle on the problem and is capable of fixing it. And that crisis of confidence is what is hurting the president at this moment.
