The Left unhinged....

Comparing Helen Thomas to Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck.

Arguing for a countervailing power.

Arguing that the oil spill will sink the Tea Party movement.

Arguing (a bit tongue-in-cheek) that America should have a King and Queen so boring, contemplative Obama can get to work on the real problems of the country.

Arguing that the GOP nominees in California have had to tack so far Right that they won't have a chance in the November elections.

What do all these pieces have in common? They represent liberal journalists and columnists who so very much want to believe that Obama is the right man for the job, that their ideas are the right ones for the country, and that the "people" will wake up to those facts and keep the Democrats in power this Fall and reelect the President in 2012. What don't they want to hear?

That the President is, in his ideology and his background, completely disengaged from the experiences and sensibilities of the majority of Americans.

That the Obama Presidency may be at a tipping point, with all signs pointing to it tipping over into negative political territory.

That Rick Santelli's famous rant on CNBC back in 2009 really did express the gut feelings held by millions of ordinary Americans about what is wrong with the country.

We will find out which set of opinions are closer to the truth when voters go to the polls in November.

Of course, however it turns out, the losing side will find all sorts of reasons why it does not represent a repudiation of their ideas.
