The man's in deep Number 2 and, what's worst, seems totally oblivious to it. The seeds of American Fascism are organizing around the Tea Parties (formerly Teabaggers), Glenn Beck and a stronger than ever Sarah Palin. Crowds are loud, unruly and increasingly large. That spells electoral trouble (maybe a whooping??) for the 2010 Congressional election.
Even more ominous is the Afghanistan dilema (major speech at West Point is scheduled for next week), with a growing reluctancy on the part of the allies to commit -- it's not just the French, but the Brits, and the Germans.
Add to that the constant drain of allies -- whether political groups or columnists. As a voting block, Latinos can no longer be counted as safe in the Obama camp. Clauses in the health bill that prohibit undocumented workers from getting insurance have created a major rift with the White House. And now Maureen Dowd of the New York TImes lambasts the president as ungrateful to his backers. She uses the case of former White House counsel Greg Craig as a case in point of a detached and selfish Obama willing to let them twist slowly in the wind.
And so we start to witness how what seemed too good to be true indeed proved too good to be true.
