He is completely detached from daily American society and its people.

I think you really mean that he is detached from you, and people like you. If you can't even bring yourself to give him credit for the positive things he has done, it says more about you than it does about him.

I'm not sure what "people like you" refers to but I have given him credit for the war on terror and the tax cut. Having said that I don't intend to endorse extremely liberal stances such as his ideas on immigration and a national prescription plan. Nor will I support the massive increase in national spending that has taken place under his administration.
As I said before I will vote for him again though I wish there was a conservative to support. Comparing the President to Clinton certainly casts him in a very favorable light. If he is compared to past conservative presidents he doesn't fare as well. Then again that is only "people like you" speaking.
Do tip your nose down in a rain so that you don't drown. That would look so un-tidy at the country club.
