Obama and Baldwin have similar weeks

Let's face it - the past week was less than kind to our President. And the same can be said about the embattled but still arrogant Alec Baldwin.

But these two kindred spirits of the far political left have similar problems because they made similar mistakes.

In the President's case, he made inaccurate statements and inappropriate representations of his signature legislative accomplishments. When caught, he attempted a half-hearted apology while still pointing the finger of blame at anyone but himself.

Baldwin, too, made inappropriate statements that were clearly homophobic. And when caught, also attempted a half-hearted apology while still citing the "stress" of protecting his family from unwanted shutterbugs.

The striking similarity was their shared indignation at having to answer unwanted questions and their total lack of sincere acceptance of their mistakes.

Methinks there's a pattern here!

The President cannot and will not accept the growing reality that Americans have little interest in his overhaul of the health-delivery system in this great nation. He has staked his legacy on this singular achievement and to now watch it crash and burn is simply not in his DNA.

Baldwin is far easier to dissect. His entitled superiority leaves him far above all others and his distasteful actions - and there are many - should be none of your damned business.

Baldwin's newly-launched and little watched program on MSNBC was "suspended" for two weeks as the progressive's form of punishment. The obvious irony is that with so few viewers, no one noticed the suspension and less could care.

The President, on the other hand, was not "suspended" of course but he did watch as 39 Democratic colleagues in the House voted Friday for a GOP measure that would have effectively gutted his Affordable Care Act.

With his less-than-truthful statements on Obamacare provisions, the President is facing a mounting loss of trust in his word.

With his obnoxious mouth/attitude, Baldwin faces yet another mini-crisis of his own making.

Two different men. Two different mistakes. Two different outcomes.

But I'm still uncertain which had the worst week.
