The rise and fall of Barack Obama will be the subject, I'm sure, of extensive discussions by experts and pundits, journalists and professors, bloggers and authors, barbershop customers, foreskin-forwarders, glory-hole cruisers, water cooler habitués, elevator riders, subway gropers, sex-addicts, incarcerated athletes, recovering gamblers, crack-showing plumbers, dry-humping adolescents, prepuced-presenters, hymen-collecting deflowerers, sodomized skanks, rejected lovers, promiscuous prima donnas, nail-fungus sufferers, PHd candidates and more for years to come.
Fitting into the None of the Above category (as I'm little more than a bottom-heavy dummy-rascal) to me the real issue there is hubris. President Obama took himself far too seriously and forgot why he was hired in the same place. His Chicago handlers never quite understood the people's anger. Tuesday's Massachusetts results were a clear rejection of the way he pussyfooted around the bankers who screwed up the economy in the first place (he hired the people who broke the system to fix it and rewarded everyone with Billions of taxpayer dollars). They were also a rejection the way he caved in to the pharmaceutical and other powerful lobbies who, among others, got the administration to pull back from the public option. I don't doubt there's a bit of Afghanistan in there too, receiving the Nobel Prize while escalating the war. (I find the idea of Killing for Peace somewhat similar to that of calling Ted Bundy a feminist.)
And there are those who feel highly offended by his arrogant discourse, perched up in his ivory tower talking down to us. Patronizing. Dismissive. He forgot where he came from, who brought him there and how seriously the people wanted change. President Obama you sold out and got what you deserved. Unfortunately, we've all lost.
