In 2008, I was shocked to see smart people fall for candidate BO like a bunch of girls screaming at a Beatles' concert.
I can understand 14-year old girls going mad at Paul McCartney & The Beatles singing "All my loving".
It was a lot more difficult talking to Obama's voters because their support was rooted on a fascination or a personality cult.
I asked again and again: What was this guy done?
The answer: It does not matter. He is Obama!
I asked: Are you concerned that he voted present 100 times as an Illinois state senator?
The answer: That's OK! He is a thinker!
I asked: What about his lack of governing experience?
The answer: That's OK. He is Obama and Obama does not need the kind of executive experience that most of our presidents have had!
He is unique!
He is a gift from above!
He will fix the world with a smile and a speech!

Today, Mortimer Zuckerman, a serious guy until he flipped for Obama in '08, has admitted that it was all too good to be true:
"Many voters who supported him are no longer elated by the historic novelty of his candidacy and presidency.
They hoped for a president who would be effective.
Remember "Yes We Can"? Now many of his sharpest critics are his former supporters.
Witness Bill Broyles, a one-time admirer who recently wrote in Newsweek that "Americans aren't inspired by well-meaning weakness."
The president who first inspired with great speeches on red and blue America now seems to lack the ability to communicate any sense of resolve for a program, or any realization of the urgency of what might befall us.
The teleprompter he almost always uses symbolizes and compounds his emotional distance from his audience."
We feel your pain! We welcome you back to the side that predicted that Obama was just too good to be true!
P.S. Speaking of "mirage", we spoke about the Obama stimulus on Wednesday night:
