When Obama was campaigning, people, especially young people, looked on him as a breath of fresh air. He was someone, they thought, who was going to bring honesty and integrity back to politics. He'd run a transparent administration, he'd run a competent administration, he'd run an ethical administration.
How disillusioning it must be - for some people at least - to see that he's just as crooked, his underlings just as incompetent - as every other President.
His transparency seems to be limited to just showing his schedule, and that of his VP, on his website, and that's about it.
So what I'm thinking is, will young people become disenchanted with the whole political process after seeing the further mess Obama has made of everything? Going around the world bowing to our enemies and dissing our friends? Showing that he is clearly the Socialist that really - he said he was?
One problem there is of course that most people who have gone to college have been indoctrinated with those Socialist views...they are all too receptive.
But if Obama continues to turn out to be a bust, will young people lose faith in the political process all together.
Because really, is there anyone out there who actually is "a breath of fresh air"? Perhaps Jan Brewer... someone of whom I've not heard Rush say, "Do we really want to watch her grow old in office?" although she is 64.
