re: #559 albusteve

The main reason for Obama’s dramatic fall in popularity - just LOOK at those huge swings in NJ and Va - is that people now recognise that his whole campaign was based on a lie.

He portrayed himself as post-partisan - the Great Healer. But most of his focus since winning has been hard-left, and his methods look hard-left too.

He dug his own hole, threw away (so far) the great chance he was given.

I can only assume that this is because the man is arrogant to a fault. I have watched US politics since the last Eisenhower years, and I have never seen anything so damned incompetent.
