The experience in Australia, which voted in a “change” government more than a year ago, suggests that it will be a long time before many people admit disillusionment with Obama, even if he turns out to be a socialist or an empty suit. Australia’s new government is blatantly incompetent, far more so than we might expect of an Obama administration, but it still enjoys slavish MSM support and rides high in the polls. In truth, those who changed their vote to elect these governments will be very slow to admit any error, even to themselves. It will take years and much rationalisation to change back.
