I work in an environment that’s primarily very, very liberal. One of my desk supporters is a die-hard liberal and a staunch Obama supporter…and I think he’s slowly coming to the point of sticker shock. He’s been very proud of his candidate and all of the wondrous things that have come to pass…or at least he was.

I started pointing out things…one gaffe after another…Cabinet candidates unable to pass confirmation, reneging on many, many campaign promises, and the one that did it was when I commented on the stimulus bill. He got really angry with me and told me that he’d put up with the last eight years of “the worst presidency ever,” as he put it, and that my dragging his candidate down was something he didn’t want to listen to.

Sadly, I can see the light of the Lightworker slowly fading from him, as it sinks in exactly how bad things are likely to get. Liberals’ disillusionment is never a pretty thing to watch.

When Obama visited Canada, there was a poll that asked “Who was the best leader?”. A majority of Canadians (something like 54%) picked Obama over Prime Minister Harper. Even though Obama, to that point, had done NOTHING. Not a thing. He had been President for only 22 days at that point, so what COULD he have done.

Proof that stupidity knows no borders.

It does get freaky, doesn’t it? Meant to get that posted on March 19, but it’s not like the 4 days’ delay made a difference.

I gave his supporters too much credit- in that I assumed they would have an attention span that would last longer than the after taste from a Red Bull.

BTW- do you realize how freakin’ frightening it is to be confronted with your own predictions long after you’ve forgotten what you wrote?

I’m still trying to figure out how, in the name of all that’s sane, a Chicago Democrat got enough votes to be elected into this Nation’s highest office. And AFTER Blogojevich!

I had very low expectations to begin with so…Will seems to be and optimist in my book.

I’m with you, Kate, we’ve got diddly squat!! I don’t find the American economic situation quite as amusing as Obama did on ’60 Minutes’! Gallows humor my @ss!!

In my book, he’s battin’ a thousand. (Will. Not Obama.)
