Trouble

clipped from legalinsurrection.blogspot.com I haven't spoken to my friend in many months, probably since the fall or summer. So I was pleased when his name showed up as an incoming call on my cell phone, although I wondered how we would dance around the subject of Him. The first sentence out of his mouth was, "Let's get it out of the way, you were right about Obama." Not being satisfied with mere contrition, I asked him whether he was bs-ing me, and he said no, he meant it. My friend spends half the year in Florida along with his similarly ancient friends. He's predicting a "Republican sweep" in November, although his dissatisfaction with Obama is not the result of a conversion to conservatism. He feels that Obama broke so many promises, and "he's just another politician." If Obama has lost my friend, the Frank Rich-loving, Sarah Palin-hating greedy Democratic geezer that he is, the Democrats are in deep electoral trouble.
