This weekend I was visiting friends in Northwest Connecticut. At an end-of-summer party on Sunday, I ran into an acquaintance, a very clever fellow who, like the vast majority of his confreres in that part of the world, had embraced Obama as a sort of savior of the world. Note the preterite. He followed Obama to the White House trailing clouds of glory. Now, seven months into the Obama Orgy of Debt, he is an older, wiser liberal. “Shades of the prison-house” have begun to close in upon him and the radiance he perceived around Obama has faded in the light of common day.
My friend is a savvy man of affairs, and he was shaken, not stirred, by the assault that team Obama had perpetrated on the U.S economy. We spoke for only a few minutes, so I did not have an opportunity to plumb the depths of his disillusionment. I came away, though, with this cheering thought: if my intelligent though programmatically liberal friend could have experienced so rapid and drastic a season of political maturation, what does that mean for the Obama’s agenda? If the Northwest corner of Connecticut is having buyer’s remorse and has started muttering about “Obamination,” what then? Will Obama’s Children’s Crusade later today or his address before the Politburo tomorrow materially alter the political dégringolade that has been gathering steam for two months? I doubt it. The disjunction between words and deeds that Thomas Sowell dilated on is becoming too wide and too obvious to conceal....

Why do most liberals continually deny the basic instincts for survival?
They rationalized Rev Wright, Bill Ayers, ACORN, his New Socialist past, his most far left voting record and now they’re surprised and we’re supposed to think they’re intelligent? About as intelligent as the dodo bird.
They have spent years constructing their reality. To tear it down would mean to start from scratch. That is a daunting task for most people.
Funny but true” dodo birds
sadly for us this does us no good until 2010 and then 2012
BUT it is a start
i wonder how many former obamites will never admit they know they made a huge error
“degringolade” -
For anyone else expressing a “WTF” sentiment:
: a rapid decline or deterioration (as in strength, position, or condition)
Beyond scary.
Why would anyone believe that a person with Obama’s leftist - in fact, Marxist - background would govern any differently.
The leftists had Obama figured out. That’s why they supported him and continue to support him.
>>> The leftists had Obama figured out. That’s why they supported him and continue to support him. <<<<
Correct. And if anything they’re mightily disappointed because he hasn’t yet gone far enough.
Wealthy liberals like this need to be taxed until they are bankrupt. These “intelligent” know-it-alls who really know nothing think the little people do not know any better. They thought Obama was a muclti-racial messaih that would soothe their liberal guilt. They gave us this nightmare.
You sure it isn't something to do with the demographics of southern California?
An admission of wrongdoing requires character; something which almost ever liberal voter lacks.
That possibility entered my mind.
What is even more astounding is the elected Dems including that POS obama know the majority of Americans do NOT support his/ their marxist agenda and still the march ahead
