Intrusive advertising is THE cornerstone of capitalism...

The article said: The "Yes we can" chutzpah was gone. It's more: "Perhaps we can't before the next election."

The point is - this could be one of the big sources of a feeling of hopelessness... We need a "father figure" who radiates confidence, to give the nation confidence too.

Reality:
1. Obama has passed health care, the biggest government take-over in US history, a socialist dream for a hundred years ... despite more than 50% opposition of the American public. No other president ever did anything remotely close to this. Incredible achievement for Obama & the lefties.

2. Obama has passed a trillion-dollar stimulus bill, for which our children and grandchildren will be paying their whole lives, despite overwhelming opposition of the US public.

3. Obama has passed the financial reform act, giving incredible power to government, without so much as a word about two of the biggest sources of the financial problems - government agencies Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac. The fine print in this bill may be big government's biggest win of all.

Obama has changed this country more in 18 months than any president in history in that period of time ... IMO, it's not even close. He has created the socialist state that he had in mind when he started.

Hopeless? You gotta be kidding me. He's ecstatic, and he wants more.


TW:
He's becoming a well-meaning, but ultimately ineffective + incompetent president -- which is similar to what Carter became.

The truth is exactly the opposite. He's very effective, very competent, and very evil.

On the plus side, a lot of the American public is now mobilized against the socialists, which gives hope for the future.
