Cuban is a quirk, but a smart one.

Hate his politics, but he is a business and marketing genius.

Yes, and it's amazing to me that a guy who thinks as Cuban does about business could vote for a politician who will govern as Obama will. Let's hope that the temporary insanity that led such voters to support the Obama is cured by some cold, hard political reality.

Despite talk about "realignments" and "generational shifts," it seems that the O-man simply rode a wave of discontent into the White House. That wave was much more powerful than anyone thought. Once that wave passes and the guy actually has to govern, he's gonna have a much rougher time.

Come Jan 20, the democrats' biggest advantage and the biggest drag on republican fortunes will vanish--i.e., G. W. Bush will leave the stage (BTW, it grieves me to say that). Without "demon" Bush, a lot of the wind goes out of Obama's sails. Obama will find that governing is a lot different than exploiting people's discontent.

The American people have a lot of entrepreneurial good sense. Obama has shown that he has none. The only thing he knows about is how to take the wealth other people make and give it away to cronies. People will be sentimental about Obama for a while, but it's going to be inescapably evident after a year or two of governing that he's an empty suit.
