Pop

Over at Charlie Foxtrot, they are predicting an Obama Bubble.

It is a rather reasonable assumption. Expectations are so stratospheric and when did any president have so many baubles and commemoratives for sale? Not since George Washington and Obama is no founding father.

Disappointment and tears are sure to result when the bubble is burst.

I hate to say it but once the splatter from the pop dries, we'll be in for a real ugly mess. The economy has as much to do with mindset as it does money. If people feel down about Obama when his status as human being is driven home, they are not going to feel good about their financial situations either.

The very fact that expectations were so high might contribute to this recession being longer and deeper than necessary (excluding of course the recession deepening stimulus packages being hosed about right now).

I feel like those who drank the Obama Kool-Aid are getting what they deserve but why do the rest of us need to be dragged down with them.

I've got to buy that "Don't Blame Me, I Voted For Palin" bumper sticker now.
