The Honeymoon Is Over

The Presidential Honeymoon will continue between Obama and non-Fox media, probably forever. But, the honeymoon's over for independent voters. It isn't so much "O" himself, whom they still admire; it is the heavy baggage of the majority party doing its best imitation of Albany. This isn't a good thing.

How do struggling citizens know the game is up? While these folks are "reforming" healthcare without adding a dime to the deficit and "stimulating" the economy, we are now coping with higher subway and commuter train fares. Yesterday, it cost $24.50 for a RT from Stamford CT to Grand Central. Think about it. If these guys can't hold down commuting costs for you, where is the stimulus money going? And, how are they going to Houdini healthcare costs?

Answers: Yes, that stimulus turned into smoked pork, rather than relief on commuting costs, and any third grade math class knows that Ted-Care is an unaffordable insult to their intelligence.

Independent voters do not give a moose-hoot about inept Sarah, but, unlike the media, they totally get why she quit being governor now (no, she does to have a boyfriend in Argentina or a girlfriend at the airport). She is clever in a way that smarmy talkheads don't get. She so knows that "O" is going to be vulnerable in '12 and that she only has to beat a couple of unknowns or male twits with names like Newt and Mitt, to be the candidate.

If you don't believe that, maybe you'll believe the rumor that someone just ordered 100 million "Mike in '12 stickers." The invoice was signed by M. Bloomberg.

Even the talkheads will have to take that one seriously. What could be more fun for them than a 24 month presidential campaign? A 36 month campaign, with advertising coffers jingling.
