Cheer up...
Jim Geraghty, Tough Year, Mr. President, Tough Year:
If you think you've had a rough year, think of how our friends on the left must feel. On January 1 of this year, they probably thought...
A stimulus bill would create jobs and lower the unemployment rate.
ACORN was a noble and trustworthy organization.
The data proving climate change was reliable (and could be found!).
Reaching out to Iran could yield dividends.
Less than 115,000 U.S. troops would be in Iraq, ten months after Obama took office.
An executive order requiring the closure of Guantanamo Bay within one year couldn't just be ignored.
The Republican party was dead in places like Virginia, and was long since irrelevant in places like New Jersey.
Gay marriage would be voted into law in New York and Maine....
You could add: "Sarah Palin is a washed-up has-been." And, "We can just ignore those promises about Afghanistan."
And how about, "The Cheney family won't be bothering us any more." Ha ha...

Problem is, most of them still think all that. They seem to have some sort of odd reality-disconnect going on.

I liked that thing Peggy Noonan wrote, about how she asks her liberal acquaintances how they think Obama's doing, and now they all say, "Well actually I was for Hillary."
