The left is thrilled by his job performace. Amazing and very telling is that as the financial crisis continues to exponentially worsen, a sizeable and growing minority is convinced that the country is now headed in the right direction. But they are clearly a minority, and their ideology is being discredited.

They will NEVER come around. The Dow Jones could fall to 600 and unemployment could rise to 30%, and it would be all Bush’s fault in their minds.

Frankly, this is not really about Bush. Bush is a straw man. This is all about Stalin, Marx, Alinsky, Castro and Chavez. As Rush puts it this is a deliberate attempt, again a DELIBERATE ATTEMPT by the Marxists to send the economcy into the tank and destroy the capitalist system once and for all, to orchestrate and exacerbate a crisis, and then seize the opportunity to foist a totalitarian state on to America while they are watching the Yankees beat the Red Sox, who will win the edition of American Idol or who will be eliminated in the next Survivor episode.

The left contains a lot of people in education who got into that field during Viet Nam. Of course the left tends to gravitate to teaching anyway. But many of these people are nearing retirement now. They face twin horrors. First, their 401ks are tanking. Second, even with a pension plan, they are starting to realize that it could still fail. Now, a healthy economy could alleviate those concerns, but their guy is working against a good economy. And coincidentally, he is working against a huge constituency. My view is that while these people like Obama, it won't take much longer for them to throw him overboard. Politics is personal. And so are dollars.
