The country is getting what it deserves in Obonga. If people who voted for him are experiencing buyer’s remorse, well I suppose it’s a good thing but small comfort in the years ahead before he leaves office in 2013. I do note that the MSM will never stop carrying the water for him, as other comments above have pointed out. However, remember that during the Seventies and right up during the 1980 presidential election campaign the media was overwhelmingly in favor of Carter, never castigating him for his buffoonery and incompetence. And then that November the media was shocked by the election results.
As besotted as my generation was with socialism and social hedonism during the Seventies, most of us woke up and smelled the coffee. In November of 1980 most of my university classmates voted for Reagan.
I dispute the entire premise of Ms. Rubin’s essay – about who the constituent groups were who provided the margin of victory for Obonga. The tracking of the data showed that the demographics that put Obonga over the top were the under-30 crowd and over 70% of single females. Does not matter how any of those folks “identified” themselves as (conservative Democrats, moderate Republicans, independents, etc.) Age and marital status were key determinants.
Thus, what really matters is how many of these people during the next four years are going to “get” the “Carter lesson” that brought us to our senses. Because Obonga is going to be far worse than Jimmy “Dhimmi” (and he is, over at Jihadwatch.org the “Dhimmi of the Year” for more than one year)Carter.
