mediocre adj.
1. neither very good nor very bad; ordinary; average
2. not good enough; inferior
(source)

inferior adj.
4. poor in quality; below average
(source)

"Mediocre" is vague.  Is it average or below average? The latter applies to Obama in my opinion.  In my experience it seems the users have meant 'well below average'.

Agreed Merlin. Never mind mediocre, how about completely awful? This entire past year has been a complete disaster.

Obama Prepares to Squander Another Year

Andrew Cline, the American Spectator

Watching the Obama administration commit political suicide is not as much fun as it should be. Self-important blowhards ought to be brought down a notch or two on principle alone. And a week ago, pickup-driving Massachusetts state Sen. Scott Brown did that to the most self-important of them all, our President.

That was satisfying. But in the week since, it has been painful to watch the Obama administration try to spin its way out of the hole in which it has, to its great surprise, found itself. It is becoming more apparent with every passing month that the President (his mouthpieces speak his words, not theirs) really does believe that he has a magically persuasive tongue. It's as if he thinks of himself as a Dungeons and Dragons character with plus-25 persuasion powers.
