The torment of the damned

Roger Simon notices that liberals have gotten very quiet. Which is not the prolix persuasion's normal state. It turns out that the man they placed such hopes in is turning out to be one of the worst, most inept Presidents of all time.  From civil liberties to economics to foreign and social policy their hero has feet of clay and he's tracking them all over the body politic. From time to time politicians fail us all but because the left looks upon politics, policy and the state as a substitute for religious devotion, when their leaders fail it's as if their God has died.  It is supremely disorienting , even terrifying to lose your center.

I predicted that my leftward friends would experience such torment before BHO was gone but even I didn't think it would be this bad.  And I take no pleasure in my friends' consternation for their despair is the nation's.  When a President fails he fails all of us.  Here's to better focus and fortune for BHO from this point on. And for better candidates in 2016.
