“Though [Obama] can count on the MSM, the liberal media have spent not only their decreasing benefits, but a large part of their principal too in electing him.”

Obama was put in office by the MSM. Without MSM connivance, a campaign based upon empty platitudes and skin color would have been insufficient to elect a person as President of the United States.

As with previous presidents, Obama’s popularity scales with the economy’s health. The stockmarket Sucker’s Rally has crested and is about to begin a clear descent. After it becomes obvious to John Q. Sixpack that Bernacke and Geithner have lost control of the economy (despite the media lies and illegal market manipulation) then what’s left of Obama’s popularity will implode. Even with (and perhaps because of) the MSM’s cheerleading, the Chosen One will become more unpopular than George W. Bush. It’s quite possible that Obama will eventually become one of America’s most hated presidents. Shortly before this happens, the MSM will abandon the Messiah just like they abandoned Jimmy Carter.

Again, I find it difficult to get worked up over Obama’s incompetence because effectively he’s already a lame duck. Even if Obama-Care and Cap-and-Trade became law, there is no money to fund those programs. Likewise, all of Obama’s foreign appeasement policies will go out the window after the first terrorist nuke goes off or Israel takes down Iran. The United States is effectively treading water until Obama goes away.

It’s so stupid that we’ve done this to ourselves. Obama’s incompetence was obvious from his earlier performance in the Senate. Allowing ourselves to be mesmerized by the MSM was a suicidal act of stupidity.
