Ironically, the passion that is missing is the author's.
He invested his passion in the empty vessel that was Obama. And, now, he isn't getting what he expected.
The two-dimensional suit (with the razor sharp crease in his trousers) turned out to be a two-dimensional suit (with the razor sharp crease in his trousers).
As a good little liberal, Dr. Westen cannot himself ever be wrong. Nor can his liberal ideology -- the very source of his faith. So, it wasn't he who made the mistake of getting passionate about Obama. It isn't liberal dogma that has turned everything upside down. No! It is Obama who has failed him! And his faith!
This guy is a psychologist...and he can't cope with his own psychological delusions.
Yea, verily, there is a great angst upon the Liberal Hive these days.
The Left is going mad.
We have ran a deficit, that has been growing at an ever faster rate since Andrew Jackson was president. Bush accelerated it and Obama has doubled it. I figured the guy was an idiot when I read that statement. I listened to an NPR story about how Obama helped pull the rug out from under a reform movement in Chicago before the election. I read about Obama and Rezko in British papers, before the election. I read about Obama, Axlerod and Emmanual getting Blogjevich reelected while the federal government was investigating him for corruption. I figured some one with no experience other than corrupt Chicago politics would probably govern this way. Watching his posturing on closing Gitmo ( with no plan nor any idea of what it entailed) made me realize his presidency would be hopeless unless he was a fast learner. Obama , to quote “Killer Angels” “couldn't pour p*ss out of a boot if the directions were on the heel”! So where has this “educated clown” been for the past four years?
