A close friend hasn't had a steady job over the last four years. But she still voted for Obama.
Whatever the problem, the true believers don't blame Obama. They blame corporate America, the “greedy rich,” President Bush, everyone but Obama. Nothing is ever his fault. He just needs “more time” to fix things.
Heaven help us all if and when he does fix things. But the believers will still blame others.
Increasingly I think that most Democrats simply do everything by emotion. They just... "like" Obama. He's their Prom King. They don't really care what happens to the country, or to the moral fiber of the national character, or anything else. He has convinced them that he is The Nice Guy, The Good Guy, The One Who CARES. Bill Clinton did the same thing. They simply follow whoever seduces them.
