I Would Rather Have Casinos

The Honeymoon appears to be over already for some who drank the Obams Kool-aid. I was listening last night to MSNBC's Chris Matthews and Keith Olberman and I noticed a surprising switch in their attitudes. Matthews once made the girlyman comment that "Barack Obama caused him to get a tingling up his leg." I hadn't listened to him much since he made that comment. All of a sudden those star gazed commentators who in the past overlooked his shortcomings before he was elected. Have now become critical of President Obama unlike in the past. I had to do a double take to make sure I wasn't dreaming. Fortunately for me,it was real.

What many consider to be a sign of weakness, may actually be a calculated move. I think it all probably started with the president's denouncing of Conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh. It was questionably the most empowering diss in the entire free world. He may quietly be hoping Rush will do for him what he did for Bill Clinton. Make him immensely popular to both parties. All those people who weren't listening to Rushbo before Obama's rant, are listening to him now. The thirty million that listen to him daily, just increased to thirty-five, forty million or more. Those talkshow hosts who have been kissing Obama's butt for the last two years must feel betrayed by his actions. He basically crowned Rush Limbaugh the reigning talk show king. Just like with many of his cabinet selections. He picked an old familiar face.

One of Keith Olbeman's guest, who was obviously a Conservative, started me to thinking. Take the lemons of life and make lemonade. Since people obviously don't want to hear cold,hard facts. Take a different approach. Instead of being in an attack mode;why not make it a joke? As the casualty list of dejected Obama supporters grows and they will. Be the bridge that allows them to come back to their senses. Before it's all over they might be saying like the title of his new book. "I would rather have casinos."
