Samuelson on Obama

In a column titled The Obama Delusion, Robert J. Samuelson hits the nail on the head, saying Obama's offerings are "standard goodie-bag politics." Samuelson calls "the contrast between his [Obama's] broad rhetoric and his narrow agenda stark." Obama "seems to have hypnotized much of the media and the public" with the result that there is "mass delusion that Obama is forthrightly engaging the nation's major problems when, so far, he isn't." All true. That so many people can behave so stupidly over Obama is disgusting.
