Delusional

David Brooks isn't the only one in the MSM to note, contrary to popular opinion, that the Obamperor has no clothes. Robert Samuelson today comes to a similar conclusion:
The contrast between [Obama's] broad rhetoric and his narrow agenda is stark, and yet the press corps -- preoccupied with the political "horse race" -- has treated his invocation of "change" as a serious idea rather than a shallow campaign slogan. He seems to have hypnotized much of the media and the public with his eloquence and the symbolism of his life story. The result is a mass delusion that Obama is forthrightly engaging the nation's major problems when, so far, he isn't.

I expect more and more people to point this out, as it is certainly a target rich environment.

The MSM will reflexively cover for Obama.

The question is, will the average voter see through the charade?
