#1 Any extra-terrestrial visiting Earth would be dumbfounded that a populace as economically illiterate as that of the US (on macro and big-picture matters) could be so fabulously productive and successful. The author (who's good) is far too kind here. Obviously Bambi's diagnosis was a preposterous non-sequitir.

As I've said before, Bambi's ascent and his performance are a profound embarrassment for the country. That no mortification or shame are evident (within the NPR-listening "high mis-information voter" demo) is terrifying.

#2 Yes he can---turn USA into a second rate (never mind the current primacy) country.

#3 ......we are losing our jobs and being kicked out of our excessively mortgaged houses because America lacks universal healthcare, federally sponsored nursery school, university for all, and a progressive emissions-oriented energy policy.

Community organizer pimp-spin, nothing more. That's all he's done. That's all he knows.

#4 For the moment, though, the presidents real threat is from within his own increasingly restive party.

As soon as Obamas new car smell starts to reek like White Castle boxes and Newport butts watch for the vulnerable Dems to jump like rats on a sinking ship.

Remember folks:

In 1977 the approval ratings, after the First 100 days, for Jimmy Carter were 63% favorable with 18% unfavorable.

In 2001 the approval ratings, after the First 100 days, for George W. Bush were 62% favorable with 29% unfavorable.

#5 I blame reality shows. The american public is brainwashed into believing the best person is the one they like the most and the one they should like is the one with the best manufactured image. Frankly, I'd rather have Susan Boyle for President

#6 Frankly, I'd rather have Susan Boyle for President.

Reminds me of Bill Buckley's comment that he'd rather be governed by the first 100 hundred names in the phone book than by the entire faculty of Harvard University.
