And I find the same sense of disappointment in columnists who had previously seen him as the savior.<br /><br />To say, as MoDo does, that the love for Obama in 2008 was like the tulip craze in Holland suggests some serious disappointment.<br /><br />At the very least, they all seem to be looking for someone to blame for their last electoral defeat and for what they see as a coming electoral wipeout. It's a lot easier to feel disappointed in BHO than to question your ideology.Stuart Schneidermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12784043736879991769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-4656443381416740042011-08-02T10:14:08.242-07:002011-08-02T10:14:08.242-07:00Did Obama lose? really?

He gets to spend another $2 TRILLION before the 2012 election; there are no real spending cuts and the alleged $1 TRILLION is over 10 years anyway; and....there is a massive tax increase effective January 1, 2013 when the Bush era tax rates expire.<br /><br />So how exactly did Obama disappoint his fans?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-35489002071128963682011-08-02T06:28:45.630-07:002011-08-02T06:28:45.630-07:00I must admit that there was a time when I enjoyed ...I must admit that there was a time when I enjoyed reading Dowd, but as she has aged she has turned into a shrew. She has essentially lived up to her name, DOWDY. A double/triple "entendre" so to speak.Dennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14962996070458991675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-62929497140844326812011-08-01T10:21:44.542-07:002011-08-01T10:21:44.542-07:00The "class warfare" gambit always comes ...The "class warfare" gambit always comes back to bite Democrats. I remember not too long ago the Democrats were going after the rich by taxing pleasure boats, et al. It wasn't too long before American boat makers and those they employed were going to Democrats about how much business they were losing to boat makers outside the US. The only people who got hurt were American workers.<br />The present class of democrat has never been to conversant with how business works and what makes an economy grow. Obama, being a Democrat, has no real concept, nor does his followers, of all that it takes to keep an economy healthy and productive. His, and theirs, ideas are antithetical to governing a prosperous country.<br />When one tries to make someone a "Messiah" or all knowing them one is always going to be disappointed. They should have know by Obama's lack of experience, knowledge and past non leadership that he was not capable. How many times does one have to vote "Present" before one senses that this is someone who has no real core? Obama was that blank slate the Dowd and all the other Leftists painted their own image. The incompetence lies as much with then as it does with Obama.<br />Far too many of them never got past their own selfish desires to ask real questions of Obama and actually made it impossible to find out. What a bunch of whiny babies. The blame never lies in their own failures. Obama's failures and lack of accountability paints a perfect picture of who those on the Left are as people.Dennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14962996070458991675noreply@blogger.com
