#1 I had this same assessment of Obama 4 years ago and 2 years ago and assumed the rest of America spotted the obvious as well. I will believe america wised up when it actually happens in the ballot box.

#2 TW the Post has been the NY popular media's "conservative" hinge pin for decades. Not surprising at all.

Re: Airandee, yep, you could see Obamaism in all its fetid, slimy glory in 2007 all you had to do was look.

The areas of my ignorance are broad and deep, AlanC. Now my ignorance is a bit lessened. Thank you.

#5 Would that were true, dear Besoeker. But I wasn't born until 1961 and, as we hadn't a television for most of my childhood, I don't have to remember much of what my age mates experienced. I'm just a "picking up pebbles on the seashore" kind of girl, that's all.

#6 Even with the peace dividend they couldn't make it work. And now we have a crushing debt to crawl out from under. And suffocating regulations to undo. By the time conservatives get it sorted out and start making progress, both politicians and voters will forget who put them there and why.

#7 gorb, I'm afraid you're right.

TW, I'm an old fart born in NYC. Growing up we got 4 NY papers a day, 3 of them are no longer around, The Journal American, Herald Tribune and Mirror. The WSJ is still around. As those 3 died we were living in NJ and got the Post, Newark News and Elizabeth Daily Journal and sometimes the Daily News.

A different time and place.

#8 I s'pose the modern version of four daily newspapers is the internet... I grew up in a suburb of Buffalo. We got one of the two local daily papers (we switched to the afternoon paper when Daddy noticed we kept missing the schoolbus because we were reading the comics), the weekly Jerusalem Post, and the various general and specific scientific journals my parents subscribed to.
