The coming failure of the Obama presidency

Thinks it's an over reach? A growing number of Americans think it is headed that way.

Excerpts:

"A failed presidency for Barack Obama could turn into liberalism's worst nightmare. Barely six months into his term, the 44th president has succeeded in generating the most widespread and serious discussion of secession since the Civil War. Despite what Newsweek's Evan Thomas may claim, Obama is not the 'God' who will bring us together but the autocratic sponsor of an overbearing, oppressive leviathan from which a growing number of Americans are seeking refuge.

......What most liberals fail to understand is that their leisurely dabbling in progressive politics and moral equivalency is made possible by the existence of accumulated conservative moral capital. Remove the conservative anchor and progressive societies become dangerously seasick.

I guess the lesson here is that liberals need conservatives more than conservatives need liberals (although society needs them on occasion). There is much in progressive ideology that simply seeks to undermine -- a strange method of establishing an identity.

...When Obama fails it will be because he's convinced enough Americans to tire, as he has, of what used to be known as 'America.' ".

At the rate this country and its prospects have degenerated in only five months, we'll be LUCKY if Balkanization is the worst thing that happens to us.
