I have long believed that once the ball gets rolling there will be no stopping it.
Being ex-media, I KNOW they love to eat their own or anyone else that proves appetizing.
But the GenPub just needs ‘guidance’ to tell them it’s OK to believe what most of them really do...and express it. That being Obama is a total fraud/disaster. Once (perhaps tonight?) this happens, it will landslide. And you are IMO totally correct. He will be radioactive. As was Carter for 2 decades. But Carter had far less of a problem to ‘rehab’.
I think the general public got a reality adjustment about His Highness Obama tonight. The bubble has popped. The toothpaste is out of the tube. The spell has been broken.
What has been seen cannot be unseen. The broad public will never look at him the same way again. His omnipotency has been shown to be a complete charade. He was punked, and the stain cannot be removed.
