So asks the Denver Post Editorial Board, while declaring this the “summer of malaise,” (wait, wasn’t this supposed to be ‘recovery summer?’) and attempting to explain to Mr. Obama why “the public tide has turned against him”:
“His health care plan, approved only after the type of backroom, sleazy deal-making he crusaded against during his campaign, does little to bring down exorbitant costs and could bankrupt states once higher Medicaid costs are passed down.The $1 trillion stimulus provided only a blip of a recovery, while saddling the nation with an unsustainable debt load. And the federal government’s reach into business and the financial world, for better or worse, is now deeper than ever.
We endorsed Obama in 2008, believing his plans for the fragile economy and frozen financial markets were superior to John McCain’s erratic ideas. But we also hoped he would restore the nation’s reputation with the rest of the world. But instead of being vilified, as we were under Bush, the United States is now suddenly bordering on being irrelevant.”

The other day, Chris Matthews asked: Will Democrats ‘Run Away From President O-Carter’ – I Mean Obama?

Matthews clearly knew what he was doing… He’s like a jaded lover, pissed-off that things didn’t work out the way he had hoped. And just looking for any opportunity to get a little dig in, to twist that “knife in the back.”
That wasn’t a Freudian slip, it was clearly delivered (poorly) for effect. But it doesn’t change the substance. The uber-libs bought into this moron’s aura, and he hasn’t delivered. And, like a scorned lover, they’re seriously pissed.
Heh. I love it. Morons.

The unions are all aboard the Obama bus.
And everyone else is beginning to figure out that they really weren’t invited. The question the Obama administration asks of anyone who’d like a seat is never, “What can we do for you?” It’s always, “What can you do for us?”

According to the Denver Post, the nation was hated under President Bush, while under Obama it is “bordering on being irrelevant.” So, which is better, to be hated or irrelevant?
For more insight on this question, I turn to two Badger Blogger regulars:
Gus, what is it like to be hated?
Tinman-tim, what is it like to be irrelevant?
