I am amazed by Obama's plunging numbers. Here is what I think happened. His attack on the police caused him to be thought of by many in the same vein as Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson.

I don't think it's that by itself, but bit by bit, Obama's true far-left attitudes and policies are being betrayed to the public by none other than Obama himself.

Remember, Obama has always gotten himself in trouble with these little unscripted moments where his true self shows - "clinging to God and guns", "spread the wealth", etc. During the campaign the press could and did cover for him. But now he has exposed himself more and more by always being in front of a mike, greatly increasing the chances of a slip-up, and his policy choices are tax-and-spend-and-claim-nobody-but-the-rich-will-pay, a veritable caricature of lefties run wild.

The true Obama is slowly seeping into the consciousness of the public for the very first time, and they don't like him all that much. Well the 30% who call themselves "progressive" like him fine, it's that other 70% who are the killer.

I think when biographers begin to write the story of Obama's presidency, the first question on their minds will be why a man who could present himself as a centrist during the campaign with such discipline, threw caution to the winds the minute he got into office.
