US News and World Report article - Unusual article from one of BO's largest supporters.

I read this article earlier and in some ways I applaud him for being one of the few sycophants in the government media that at least sees this as a problem for Obama. But it is hard to sympathize with him because he, along with the others in the mainstream media, refused to carefully examine Obama during the primaries (recognizing there is no way they would during the general). Their laziness, ideology or whatever it was that kept their usual curiosity at bay prevented the American public in general (and Dem primary voters in particular) from really understanding who this guy is before they voted for him. All the signs were there and they had plenty of folks in the alternative media pointing it out, but they willfully went along with the charade.

So pardon me Mort if I scoff at your recent revelations that the Messiah is not The One. I feel compelled to say I told you so.....

I think it is typically American to inflate public figures to the point that they can never meet anyone's expectations. And just as typical to deflate them when they ultimately disappoint.
It is typical of politicans to promise way more than they can possibliy deliver during elections. Obama was not unique in that. He'll be lucky to get a start on one thing during his Presidency. Most of those running for office just do not really understand how difficult it will be to be things done -- and this applies to Repubicans as well as Democrats.
