This is not surprising news to me. Most Americans are reasonably happy with and proud of their country. We are not interested in seeing the philosophical structures of our homeland torn down to the foundations and retooled into the "United States of O-merica." Sometimes it seems as though the new president is settling in for a lifetime reign, especially when he makes ten-year budget projections.
Math was never my thing, but even with an unlikely two terms, isn't Obama gone after 8 years? Why is he expounding on a budget ten years down the road? Does he think we'll all kneel down and beg him to stay? Excuse me if I laugh. Despite their dangerous delusions, megalomaniacs can be quite amusing.
The rapid 5-point dip in the president's poll numbers is a sign of the times. To quote the real Abraham Lincoln:
You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time.
And President Obama has the poll numbers to prove it.
