Our Waning Obama Worship
We Americans know not what we do.
by Victor Davis Hanson
National Review Online

In just 20 months, President Obama’s polls have crashed. From near 70 percent approval, they have fallen to well below 50 percent. Over 70 percent of the public disapproves of the Democratically controlled Congress. Hundreds of thousands of angry voters flocked to hear Glenn Beck & Co. on the Washington Mall. Indeed, things have gotten so bad that the cherubic Mormon Beck might outdraw Barack Obama himself on any given Sunday.

All this was not supposed to be — and it has evoked a lot of anger.

Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson thunders, “The American people are acting like a bunch of spoiled brats.”

You see, hoi polloi want “easy solutions” — like trying to close an open border, cut federal spending, and balance the budget. Instead, they should be manning up to pay more for gas, more in taxes, and more for entitlements for more to come across the border.

Worse still, the uninformed voter cannot seem to appreciate the brilliance of Barack Obama, who has deigned to suffer on our behalf, in offering only unpopular but necessary solutions. Obama has tried his best to prepare an immature nation for amnesty, borrowing at record levels, cap and trade, and additional trillions of national debt — the castor oil that the obese and now constipated public for some reason just won’t swallow.

Oh, I love the not-so-subtle sarcasm of VDH.  I would love to hear what Mark Steyn had to say on it as well.

Maybe today is a good day for a drive across my fair state.

Hey dumbass! You people always complained that your message wasn't getting out and that was why you weren't in power. Well guess what? It did and in 2 short years the masses don't really care for it anymore. Just like they didn't care for Carter. I imagine that Carter is real happy right now because it is looking like he won't go down as the worst president in history now.
