It was just glitter; ah poor baby

The worm must be turning when one of Americas most admired op-ed must reads (Maureen Dowd NYT) throws her hands up in the air.

There have been several articles and op-ed peices the last couple of days talking about the Democratic defection from the Annointed One's worship. The gilding has worn off and even the libs are looking to greener pastures. What an ironic twist it would be if Dems nominated someone else for the 2012 elections.

Probably the best quote from the whole article, "He doesn’t lead, and he doesn’t understand why we don’t feel led."

Will wonders ever cease? I didn't think Dowd was capable of objective thought. She'll be on someone's deep yogurt list now.

MoDo's intelligent enough to write that article but too stupid to have seen him for what he was in '08.

We tried to tell you, you bleeding heart fool. But, noooooo. He was the answer to the World's problems...

(almost) lost coffee rofl. On a day when local leadership is endeavoring to place things in stupid column, this will get troops' morale up a bit. Thanks for that.

I guess this means that she no longer dreams about having sex with the President. FWIW the op-ed is crap. His failures go way beyond personality or his inability to engage. We've lived through inept presidents before. What's different this time is this president has buried this country under such a massive pile of debt that it will take us 30 years to get out from under it only to get run over by $70 trillion in unfunded liabilities. Her op-ed only finds fault with the presidents style. She has no issues with the elephant in the room. Screw her and every other liberal talking head who refuses to acknowledge the obvious.
