President Obama and congressional Democrats face an uphill climb to reclaim the support of independent voters who vaulted them to the White House and huge majorities in Congress in 2008...Obama will simply never be able to understand why independents are turning against him - he grew up in the political culture which glorified thuggism, lying, ramming through one's aganda no matter what the public wanted, relationships of personal advantage over loyalty and principal - all rejected by middle of the road moderates - Obama will never know what hits him......

I agree, you stated it well. Obama doesn’t realize the majority of people in this country don’t appreciate Chicago style thug politics, for a man his age he is naive when it comes to the country.
