I'm just hoping someone on Obama's social media outreach team will see this and convey the message that plenty of his bedrock American moderates and moderate liberals support him at least as strongly, maybe way more strongly, than we did in November 2008.
Today, Obama is getting it from all sides. He's the punching bag we use to attack the fear we feel as a result of the 2008 collapse. Obama got us past the immediate crisis without civilization as we know it disintegrating, but we still have to deal with the reality that a lot of our supposed world, national and personal wealth was a mirage, and that we're a lot poorer and a lot less productive than we thought we were.
But Obama keeps on getting up there and calmly, methodically trying to do the sensible thing, even if he desperately wishes there was something else he could do. I salute the fact that he gets up and does his best to be a kind, generous but realistic grownup at a time when people are not particularly fond of realism.
