I've followed BO since he snuck into the US Senate by replacing a scandal-ridden predecessor at the last minute, and challenged by a very poor GOP candidate. He never would have become a national figure if not for that perfect storm of conditions in a state so blue it bleeds cobalt. Lincoln himself couldn't get elected in Illinois again.

I honestly never thought half the country would be so wrapped up in Bush Derangement Syndrome to actually vote for the Assclown from the Windy City. He is the epitome of backroom deals and cronyism that is synonymous with Chicago. At the same time, he has never appeared to be able to think on his feet. When his teleprompter misses a beat, the audience is forced to wait until he can start reading...

Barack Obama was a rock star on the campaign trail and his aura went undimmed in his first few months of office. But then he began taking too many curtain calls. The applause subsided, but he kept coming back to center stage to try harder to wow us. He forgot what every star must learn, that you've got to know when to get off that center stage. If you don't have anything new to say, shut up. This applies even to presidents.

He's reaching for applause lines with the same ol' same ol'. So his poll numbers begin to shrink....
