Pres BO started the year walking on water, in large measure because a lot of people wanted to believe that he did walk on water.
Pres BO ends the year struggling with his agenda, specially among those who invested all of their hopes and dreams in a man who had never accomplished anything. (Rasmussen: ".....62% of unaffiliated voters disapprove.")
Today, Drew Western is the latest liberal to fire away: Leadership, Obama Style, and the Looming Losses in 2010: Pretty Speeches, Compromised Values, and the Quest for the Lowest Common Denominator
"Consider the president's leadership style, which has now become clear: deliver a moving speech, move on, and when push comes to shove, leave it to others to decide what to do if there's a conflict, because if there's a conflict, he doesn't want to be anywhere near it."
I feel Drew's pain.
I'm sorry that he is the latest liberal to join the broken hearted!
I ask Drew, and everybody who jumped on BO's bandwagon, one simple question:
What led you to believe so much?
What did you see in BO's resume that led you to believe that he could do anything, or fight for anything?
Remember Rev Wright?
BO sat in the church for 20 years and never confronted Rev Wright's outrageously racist sermons!
Remember all of the promises about change?
Dear Drew: blame yourself.
Yes, blame yourself for having been so naive and foolish to jump on this bandwagon!
In the meantime, let's send Drew a tune: Jimmy Ruffin's "What becomes of the broken hearted":
"As I walk this land with broken dreams
I have visions of many things
Love's happiness is just an illusion
Filled with sadness and confusion,
What becomes of the broken hearted
Who had love that's now departed?
I know I've got to find
Some kind of peace of mind
Maybe.
The fruits of love grow all around
But for me they come a tumblin' down.
Every day heartaches grow a little stronger
I can't stand this pain much longer
I walk in shadows
Searching for light
Cold and alone
No comfort in sight,
Hoping and praying for someone to care
Always moving and goin to where
What becomes of the broken hearted
Who had love that's now departed?
I know I've got to find
Some kind of peace of mind
Maybe.
I'm searching though I don't succeed,
But someone look, there's a growing need.
Oh, he is lost, there's no place for beginning,
All that's left is an unhappy ending.
Now what's become of the broken-hearted
Who had love that's now departed?
I know I've got to find
Some kind of peace of mind
I'll be searching everywhere
Just to find someone to care.
I'll be looking everyday
I know I'm gonna find a way
Nothings gonna stop me now
I'll find a way somehow
I'll be searching everywhere..."

"Obama's Falling Poll Ratings: Why He Has To Worry"
"The 2009 elections in New Jersey and Virginia were initially talked about by Obama allies as a test of the President's organizing power.
By the time the votes were counted, however, with Republicans winning two Democratic seats, no one at the White House wanted to claim any responsibility.
That's because the remarkable enthusiasm that greeted Obama's victory in 2008, with record turnout among independents, blacks and young people, had gone away, along with the minions of Obama organizers. "I think that we all thought, and I think that the President thought, that they would stay with it because we would create this movement," explained Lake, at a recent reporter briefing organized by the Christian Science Monitor.
In fact, the enthusiasm gap bodes poorly for 2010, when Obama will be trying to minimize losses in the House and the Senate.
According to the recent Battleground poll, just under two-thirds of Democrats say they are extremely likely to vote in upcoming elections, compared to 77% of Republicans and Independents."
