To: My Favorite Headache

The MSM is out there trying to redirect all the flak from O. Some people are not fooled, but many are - the adoration of the “first black president” has seized many people like a religion. You can see it in the posts.

The old lady across the street seems suspicious of him. But she says he’ll be reelected.

I don’t think he will be that. I do live in a red area, but when people here talk about him, they look like they want to strangle him.

Because many people, a sizable minority unfortunately, are emotionally invested in Obama. It's like a battered spouse. They have an emotional connection they can't let go of because they can't accept they were wrong in the first place. A majority of Americans still approve of Obama personally. His job approval is a bit under 50% now, but people still WANT to like him. That is a very hard bond to break. Hussein has been turned into a cultural icon - hip, cool, happening. He's something of a cult of personality and beating him in 2012 will likely be extraordinarily difficult.

Why bring Bill Clinton into this?
