Barack Obama - and his "reality problem"
Here's a description of the State of the Union speech...
Michael Gerson writes in the Washington Post (Yes, the Washington Post:
"Promising to change the tone in Washington, he managed to be petty, backward looking, defiant and self-justifying.
Barack Obama has lost his promise. He has lost his momentum. He has lost his touch. He has lost his filibuster-proof Senate majority. He has lost his first year in office.
Tonight, he lost his grip on reality."
