O's political 'deaf' jam __________________________________________________________ By MICHAEL GOODWIN New York Post August 1, 2010 Excerpt: It was Lily Tomlin who said "I always wanted to be somebody, but now I real ize I should have been more specific." President Obama must know the feeling. He took office wanting to remake America and he succeeded in some big ways. From the stimulus to health care to auto bailouts to financial regulation, he has put major notches in his victory belt. Yet instead of applause, Obama finds himself the target of voter disgust and anger. His poll ratings are deep in the danger zone and show no signs of climbing out. Ah, if only he had absorbed Tomlin's wisdom. Then he would have remade America in ways most people actually wanted! The inverse relationship between his legislative victories and his falling public support reflects a growing conviction that Washington is disconnected from the concerns of most Americans. The result is that Obama loses support around the country for every victory he wins in Congress. It's a losing-by-winning dynamic, with real consequences. His popularity now has sunk underwater, with more people disapproving of his job performance than approving.
