What Do We Do With Barack Obama? Rich DemocRATS aren’t coughing up anymore, the Times reports. The Goldman Sachs crowd has dropped him cold. His inside circle can’t seem to get out of the White House fast enough. Approval ratings suck

"Who likes the president?

Rich Democrats aren’t coughing up anymore, the Times reports. The
Goldman Sachs crowd has dropped him cold.

His inside circle can’t seem to get out of the White House fast
enough.

Approval ratings suck.

Other Democratic politicians don’t want him on the campaign trail.

Black people have, apparently, soured on him, too.

The people in the backyards he’s visiting don’t seem very happy about
having them in their backyards.

Obviously anybody the least right-of-center finds him anathema.

Who’s left? There is a block, but they seem stoic, dug in, anti-Fox.
And you certainly don’t hear much of a passionate defense from them
anymore.

The answer is that nobody likes him as much as they did, or as much as
they thought they would, or even as much as they thought they should.

At this moment, we have a largely unrecognizable figure in the White
House. The weirdly continuing questions about his birth place and
religion may be not so much a slur as a demented metaphor for his real
lack of identity—and friends.

There’s a guilty sense, too. People are edging away from him because
they now feel they got it so wrong. It’s buyer’s remorse with
recrimination—self-recrimination.

How did everybody get it so wrong is a question many people seem to be
asking themselves—not least of all these people slinking out of the
White House.

It is not just that he has turned out to be something different. In
fact, reasonably, he isn’t that different. The more powerful sense of
remorse or at least sheepishness may come from people now asking
themselves how and why they came to think of him as different than he
was. More confounding, they may not really now be able to remember
just who exactly they thought he was.

So to refocus the story: Some mass misperception put Barack Obama in
the White House and now nobody knows what to do with him.

Can there be a more awkward situation?"

According to our resident socialists, they love him in Europe. Just
ask Earl, et al.
