Thanks for posting this scanian, as it exemplifies the current state of some idealogues that helped or aided Obama on his rise, but that are now just starting to realise that they mayhaps have made more than “just a mistake”.
It would appear that the ‘honeymoon’ for Obama is nearly over - insofar as even some of the leftie types would now admit (These types of lefties are, of course, no freinds of mine), but at least they realize that the proverbial peice of toast is either buttered on one side - or is completly dry.
And unless there is butter (at leas on one side) to suck off, there is no need for thier type - they will be as slaves, the same as the rest of us.

They went to bed at 2 with a 10, and woke up at 10 with a 2.

Alec Guinness brilliantly portrayed this moment of clarity when he contemplated the bridge he had built for the Japanese over the River Kwai and said, "What have I done?"

The lesson is how Ego is the downfall of many men.

"They fell in love with the idea of Obama and that blinded them to the reality of the man Obama."

It is easier to believe than to think.

Too many voters—many so-called conservatives included—saw in Obama exactly what they wanted to see. They refused to be “confused by the facts.”

George Smiley is the very antithesis of Barack Obama.

No flash and all task,complex to the point of tedium.

They fell in love with the idea of Obama and that blinded them to the reality of the man Obama. The hard leftist. The man with no management skills. The man with no knowledge of history. The man who insults our allies. The man who wants to fundamentally change America, i.e., the man who thinks the Founding Fathers screwed things up and he's going to "fix it".

Useless idiots would be more accurate.

I don't buy it for one second. I believe that they were aware of the reality of obama from the beginning. The thing is that now they are now looking for at least a crumb of appreciation for their dirty deeds, but they're being snubbed instead.

They'll show obama what a pack of hyaena's they really are.

The disconnect of these people is as insane as gore's regarding rising temperatures. Obama is doing anything and everything he has ever said he planned to do. What? Didn't Buckley believe him? Maybe he believes him now. What kind of a nitwits are these people?

People complain about the best and brightest giving us Vietnam and Iraq. Well, I guess it's the best and brightest that gave us Obama.

Yes...that old Ego....the collective Ego.....that is always in search of a solution to its problems. The Ego can never find a solution because it is the problem!

This occasional column will be a hall of fame for easy marks. If you have evidence of other really smart people waking up and exclaiming "What have I done?" please send it to cliffordthier@mac.com The list will be growing.

If the columnist scratched 1mm deeper, he would find that these people would still cast the same vote today. If anything their leftist beliefs will be strengthened by Obama's phony centrism. Many Obama voters are now saying, oh well, we made the right choice but he's turning into just another politician. Obama's bloom may have faded but the deep core of leftist stupidity is thriving and growing.

Leftist are always shocked that the leader they followed, nurtured and supported turns against them.

Balint Vasonyi in his book “America’s 30 Years War” nails these leftists perfectly.

Leftists the world over were shocked when Hitler invaded Russia, attacking his friend and ally Stalin. Vasonyi wasn’t shocked in the least, writing that “Marxists are the ultimate competitors.” Leftists will attack and kill anyone who gets in their way while pursuing power.

Aiding their left wing bosses didn’t turn out well for Trotsky and Rohm and his SA. The bourgeois professors and elite leftists in business are usually the first to get a bullet in the head.

Quite simply, leftists will kill or purge those who aided them when they are no longer useful. These people are indeed the ultimate “useful idiots.”

Leftists the world over are currently probing obuma, determining his weak points. America will not fare well when they correctly determine that he’s a “useful idiot” who is no longer useful.

That koolaid must have been mighty intoxicating.

I’m still waiting to hear the collective buyer’s remorse of the Jews who stupidly voted for the thinly-veiled muzlim, but i wont hold my breath waiting for them to admit their error of judgment.

The type of leftists who are shocked by vicious actions by their idols are simply people who are not in any way worldly-wise. They are rather simple-minded and many are educated beyond their own intelligence. They would do well to meditate on the scriptural truth that the human heart is a deceiver and desperately wicked.

It clouds the mind and blocks common sense.

Unfortunately, today’s crop of idiots is only marginally useful.
