( CNN ) -- Ordinarily , being ranked as the worst modern president of the United States would be considered unfortunate . For you Mr. President , that 's the good news . As painful as it is to note , your presidency has not yet hit bottom . You 've got a long way to go in your descent . Everywhere you walk , Mr. President , the world unravels . Americans are whispering that each political missile you fire seems to hit not its target but our own house . You have undone the core idea you 've advanced , that a larger public sector can save us . You are becoming the one-man Keystone Cops of an experiment in weakness and incompetent government . Your Veterans Administration is a dysfunctional mess . Some veterans who have lived through war have not survived contact with your VA . Your immigration agents are changing diapers and crying for fresh underwear for detained immigrants awaiting deportation . Your IRS has been accused of targeting political opponents , and your best defense is their ineptitude : They lose their e-mails and files . Your own signature initiative , the Affordable Care Act , has turned on you . You 've repeatedly delayed and altered the law , gluing and taping together , on the fly , the health care of an anxious nation . Begala : What 's behind Boehner 's nutty lawsuit threat . Your Supreme Court is telling you to read the manual that came with your office : You are not allowed to run a Nixonian presidency . In three years , you 've suffered numerous humiliating and unanimous reversals of your executive authority . You are protected by the thinly manned barricades of an attorney general who refuses to investigate misconduct in your executive offices . Four out of five Americans believe the government you would like to expand is corrupt , a view that is a 7-point increase from the last year of the Bush administration . You are fortunate you can not be impeached because of the cost to our exhausted , divided country . If you were a car manufactured by GM , not the president who bailed it out , you would be recalled for your defects . In foreign affairs , you have undone one of the great accomplishments of the 20th century : You have resuscitated the Soviet Union . A two-bit KGB thug named Putin has been kicking sand in the face of your country . In the absence of American leadership , the Middle East has devolved into chaos , and you are reduced to unpalatable choices : Either you negotiate with our Iranian enemies or abandon our allies , if we still have any , to jihadist wildfires that threaten Israel 's borders and set desert sands aflame . Boehner : Why we must sue the President . Young people who voted for you to earn a better life than their parents are now living with their parents . Our nation has the lost the hope you promised us . We fear our freedom is in decline : A 48 % plurality feel our best days are in the past . Even the one thing you have been good at , Mr. President -- politics -- has abandoned you . You have now been reduced to pathetically small political `` listening tours . '' Even on such an inconsequential stage , you are tone-deaf , incapable of striking the right chords : You tell your audiences you are there to tell them that you are listening . You have always been more popular than your policies . Despite your stumbling , we have loved your bright smile and intellectual aura . But now , we are beginning to notice ; you laugh too hard at your own jokes . Behind the smile , we see an ego inflated beyond merit . Your intellectual detachment , we now find , was merely cluelessness . The distance between what you 've promised and done has grown too large for us to blame anyone else . Kohn : Boehner , do your job instead . Is this as bad as it can get ? Actually , no , Mr. President . The road ahead is worse for you . Even your supporters will soon say publicly what we are all thinking privately . In days to come , it will become increasingly cool to snicker and then laugh at your presidency . Disagreement is not the cruelest cut in politics ; it is ridicule . Politicians who have survived everything else are done in ultimately by laughter . The gristliest moment for an incumbent is not when voters express their anger . There is respect , even in those dark days . What an incumbent never wants to hear from a voter is pity . Your worst day will be when a voter says , `` Poor President Obama . He 's done the best he can . '' When that day comes , Mr. President , your favorable rating will crash another 10 points into the basement . Democratic candidates will not only ignore you , as they now do , they will turn on you . Hillary Clinton will betray you . That will start a war within your party as candidates like Elizabeth Warren and Jerry Brown rush to defend you . If they depose the Clintons , mere anarchy will be loosed upon the Democratic world . At this moment , our emperor is naked , but no one has yet said it publicly . That will change soon . When it is too sad to cry about our presidents , America laughs . That 's what will really hurt .
