You know, I kind of like Obama as Dad, Husband, guy who sneaks a cigarette and has an interest in sports. I think he thinks what he is doing is right. But this bloated ,extreme one-sided government echo chamber in Washington has instilled this belief in him that he is an emperor who is always right. Well so far, he has been nearly always wrong. The sycophants need to go and Mr Obama will find out what it means to rule a democratic nation.
Remember November.

WSJ Online: Tom Raum of the Associated Press reports that it's really hard to be president--at least for President Obama:
Unpredictable and tough to solve, the stack of problems on President Barack Obama's desk is growing unwieldy. It's presenting him with a tough juggling act.
Two wars, a financial crisis, lingering high unemployment and an exhausting battle over health care. And that was just the start.
Now throw in an environmental disaster in the Gulf of Mexico and an attempted car bombing in Times Square. And there are other pressing matters, such as dealing with the increasing menace of Iran's nuclear program, trying to get the Middle East peace process back on track, searching for a new Supreme Court justice and trying to persuade Congress to approve the most sweeping rewrite of financial rules in 70 years.
And Obama is striving to juggle these problems while he and his party brace for potentially big midterm election losses in November.
Imagine the same story, with a few words changed, in 2005:
Unpredictable and tough to solve, the stack of problems on President George W. Bush's desk is growing unwieldy. It's presenting him with a tough juggling act.
Two wars, a jobless recovery and an exhausting battle over Social Security reform. And that was just the start.
Now throw in a meteorological disaster in the Gulf of Mexico and an attempted terrorist attack in Los Angeles. And there are other pressing matters, such as dealing with the increasing menace of Iran's nuclear program, trying to get the Middle East peace process back on track, searching for a new Supreme Court justice and trying to persuade Congress to approve the most sweeping rewrite of immigration law in 20 years.
And Bush is striving to juggle these problems while he and his party brace for potentially big midterm election losses in November.
You know as well as we do that this story would never have appeared. In fact, the AP invented "accountability journalism" in order to justify its anti-Bush slant during Hurricane Katrina. We don't necessarily object to Raum's piece on the problems President Obama faces. But those whose job is to cover the news impartially ought to make an effort at least to appear evenhanded.
