Right now there are many Americans who think that the only reason the GOP opposes Obama is that conservatives are greedy.

Here are the other lies that Americans buy:

1. Things aren't that bad.
2. We're just in a cycle.
3. Things are improving.
4. His intentions are good.
5. We'll fix it in November.

The delusion is strong - even stronger than I imagined it would be.

I wish I could remember the name of the guy Beck has had on who espouses the theory that people don’t believe anything out of the ordinary. It really rings true. It’s why people don’t grasp that things are changing until it’s pretty much too late to do much about it. Or at least it’s too late to fix them easily.
