  GETTING EMAILS LOWERING EXPECTIONS AND MAKING EXCUSES FOR OBAMA ALREADY!

  I was just about to agree with you and then you had to start talking about how important it was that you influenced Chris Matthews' opinion about Clinton! That's when I quit reading and realized that it's still about the media and nothing else, as has been this entire election cycle. Does anyone really care what Chris Matthews thinks about Clinton or anyone else?

  However the transition team wants to spin it, Obama owns all the misery that is coming home to roost. Do you, or anyone else, think that as the economic situation worsens American voters are going to re-elect Democrats en masse in the 2010 mid-term congressionals? I don't. And Obama is next.

  You, and the rest of the media harpies, have failed to realize the sense of anger, betrayal, and frustration that exists out here in the real world. And the voters who put Obama in office will take him out in 4 years if there is not significant improvement. No one will recall or give a fat rat's ass whether Clinton was offered the Secretary of State role or not.

  Obama won this election because McCain lost it. Neither of these guys were strong nominees at a time when our country is facing serious issues. When the economy went into the toilet, voters moved away from the party-in-power. Obama benefitted. But he's only regarded as the next Messiah by the left-wing and the media, not by those independent moderate voters who held their noses and gave him their votes.

  Already everyone associated with his Carnival Show has forgotten it was all smoke and mirrors anyway. Already we're receiving emails from Obama surrogates making excuses for him, lowering expectations, and shaming the left-wing for actually thinking they were going to get something out of this. I can never recall receiving a letter or anything else after an election making excuses for the newly elected official.

  I'll repeat myself: I have never received a letter, email, or anything else suggesting that we lower expectations, and start making excuses for a newly elected official. The fact that it's the President-elect is all the more disturbing to me.

  Looks like the show is over before the final act to me. And the audience is leaving before it curtain goes up.
