That Emperor's New Clothes column explained it. Not only did the smarty pants elitists have to jump on the Obama bandwagon, they had to theoretically clothe him with brilliance, achievements and promises that just were not there. And then they had to coo, ooh and ahh about everything he said or did, no matter how mundane, pedestrian, or just plain stupid. If and when they choose to wake up, there will be a collective and massive spiked koolaid handover.

It must be dawning on the Dem policy wonks that they have hitched their stars to a wannabe Marxist and his handlers, and that this may not end well. Yes, it sure may end not well at all. They didn't want Hillary because she would be "more of the same". Now, they may be having doubts about what they got - and they should. The dollar is weak, which spooks everyone, and that is due in part to the stimuli "working". Strength in the dollar would be related to another decline in the markets and real estate, and another wave of destruction of wealth. We are between a rock and a hard place. Afghanistan threatens to become a lose-lose proposition, unfortunately... Pakistan may become unstable. Middle East IS unstable, largely due of Iranian nuke plans. Healthcare "reform" would kill whatever political capital the Dems have left... it would position them to be blamed for any further negative developments. There would be no more blaming Bush - unless they want to earn a Nobel prize for looking like the biggest idiots. They also want to pass the carbon tax, and maybe another "stimulus"..... Looks like we'll be well entertained all the way into a Socialist poorhouse.
