A crack in the mainstream media armor

How is it possible that someone who was so likeable and so inspiring while running for president could, day by day, be so unlikable and so uninspiring as president?

That’s Ruben Navarrette, who is no GOP apologist, in an editorial today on CNN.com.

The piece includes an occasional conciliatory snippet, but for the most part, Navarrette is beginning to realize (and acknowledge) that a petulant, inexperienced child is occupying the White House.  Apparently, this is a man unwilling to delegate, unable to relinquish a campaign mindset, and incapable of doing anything but spitting venom when any conversation strays from his teleprompter.

The usual fawning sycophants—the Paul Begalas, the James Carvilles—are still toeing the line publicly, but I’m beginning to wonder how much of it is a brave face.  They’re not stupid.

Oh, and Zogby had Obama down to 50% approval yesterday.  I’m becoming keenly interested in doing everything I can to hand President Obama a Republican Congress next year.

I’m also beginning to wonder whether historians will ultimately say that Bush’s greatest failing is that the first bailout happened on his watch.
