Two short years ago a tingle would instantly shoot up the leg of 80% of people fortunate enough to witness Barack Obama enter the room in which they were standing. Even those who didn't vote for the political juggernaut recognized he'd been blessed with an immense gift.
Today the leg of only 20% of folks who come in contact with our esteemed Commander in Chief feel such tingle. 2008 was a huge year for sensations darting up lower appendages. 2010, however, saw the limbs of many suffer massive withdrawal.
An additional Twenty percent of current citizens who encounter Mr. Obama think, "I understand our President has implemented some controversial new laws but I'm sketchy regarding the details. Doesn't the First Lady look radiant!?"
The remaining 60% laugh.
The laugh of some says, "Man did that guy fool me."
The laugh of others says, "I warned as many people as I possibly could."
The laugh of the rest says, "During the final two years of the Bush Presidency, I paid exactly the same number of bills as I did during the first two years of the Obama Presidency. No hope and no change."
Let's dissect the current state of Mr. Obama and his fellow Democrats.
In their attempt to get unemployment benefits extended, liberals claim that paying people not to work actually assists the economy. I'm sure there are thousands of jobless twenty-somethings who've recently informed their parents, "Taking money from you helps your financial situation immensely! Were I to join the workforce, the value of your portfolio would likely plummet! By taking your money, I give and give and give!"
Because everyone believed his lies during the campaign, he assumes everyone will continue nodding along with each word he utters, no matter how asinine.
President Obama is supposedly compromising with Republicans by proposing the Bush tax cuts be extended for every American, including the filthy-rich. "Give him some credit," moderates and liberals in the media beg of conservatives. "He's finally moving to the center as you've been wishing."
You genuinely want us to credit President Obama simply because he took a stand for a policy he does not support due to the fact that otherwise would have secured the demise of his political career!? Please remember we're talking about a man who purposely ran the economy of the United States into the ground for the express purpose of creating what he considers a socially just society!
Had Jeffrey Dahmer given you a hug instead of slicing you up and storing your head in the fridge, would you have declared, "Jeffrey's a new man!" or would you have said, "I wonder if the unusually sweet gesture was an attempt to convince me I needn't be on guard while in his presence?"
I'm not comparing Mr. Obama to a horrific serial killer (at least not until members of his death panels report for duty); I'm simply saying that, after dozens of questionable acts, a single seemingly good deed doesn't mean anyone can confidently declare Mr. Obama is now a rational moderate.
Two years ago Mr. Obama was one of the most successful human beings in the history of our world, now he's the butt of jokes. His name is associated with incompetence and arrogance. He's shown nothing but contempt for the people who faithfully elected him to lead.
From king to jester in a matter of seconds.
