Over at the Huffington Post (h/t: Ramesh Ponnuru, NRO), Jacob Heilbrunn writes some comically cloying sentences:
And never forget that [Obama] is as as [sic] good and intelligent and decent a president as America will ever have. He still has a chance to become one of the greatest. Eight years from now, after Obama has successfully served two terms, that judgment may well look like a commonplace.
Watching the Myth of Obama collide with reality is a traumatic experience for many on the Left. Some are getting angry. Others are getting defensive. Others are engaging in self-denial. Mr. Heilbrunn is struggling with all three.
These are not easy times for Obama worshippers.
