“An out-of-context or irrelevant response to anxiety is called a displacement behavior.”
Hmmm… perhaps Archy is displaying displacement behavior. When faced with defending a position for which he has no defense, his tendency is to resort to attacking the opposing messenger or the messenger’s political affiliation.
Obama’s represented premise was one of “hope”. Unfortunately, he did not have any resources or methods available… outside of political thuggery… to deliver on his promises.
History is not on Obama’s side. Many leaders, dictators, and despots have taken this same path before Obama… and with the same failed results. This isn’t an experiment – it’s a rerun of a failed experiment.
Perhaps it’s even simpler than that – Obama’s vision is utopian and unattainable in the context of reality. (I use “utopian” even though my gut feeling is that Obama is more malicious than naïve.)
There were those whose politics are (were) middle-of-the-road, who fancied themselves independent, who voted for Obama based on THEIR concept of “hope” and THEIR burning desire to see the politics-as-usual-inside-the-beltway squelched… change.
In fact, the naïve independents may get their way after all. Obama, the incompetent pretender, in playing out his improbable agenda… has kicked over a huge anthill. The American people are mad as hell! Perhaps we SHALL see change.
Hound and I hope, for the good of America, we change back to respecting and adhering to the Constitution of the United States of America.
Now there is HOPE and CHANGE in which we can believe.
