Seven Stories Obama Doesn't Want Told:
"A year into his presidency, however, Obama’s gift for controlling his image shows signs of faltering. As Washington returns to work from the Thanksgiving holiday, there are several anti-Obama storylines gaining momentum."
The key point in the article is this quote:
"The problem is that many voters took Obama seriously in 2008 when he talked about wanting to create a more reasoned, non-partisan style of governance in Washington."
It wasn't just the voters looking for change that took him seriously. The Main Stream Media and all of the political talking heads who should have known better fell for the spiel. The Conservative pundits took comfort in believing that like Bill Clinton, he would move towards the center after he was elected, and all would be well with the world. Guess what, they were all dead wrong.
People that should have known better because their livelihood is dependent on covering politicians, swooned over Obama and his "message". The public was just guilty of being Fashion Voters, but the beltway insiders were guilty of dereliction of duty. Shame on them, they get paid handsomely to show more skepticism toward duplicitous politicians but this time they didn't earn their keep.
