There are plenty of blank canvases out there but I am not sure the Left can pull it off again. I would like to think that people won't be so easily fooled, or charmed, anytime soon.<br /><br />The Left's ideas are bankrupt but they cling to them as staunchly now as they ever have. And while it is true that we are hearing some grumbling from the Left about Obama, the complaints center around how he is handling the messaging rather than either the message is wrong or that the messenger sucks.Carolhttp://carolyntackettscloset.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3507098756489505132.post-5228242059565828232010-06-06T14:37:27.346-04:002010-06-06T14:37:27.346-04:00It's not to find another messiah, it's to ...It's not to find another messiah, it's to save their belief in their cause and goals. <br /><br />The Left's beliefs created the Obama-messiah image. Obama didn't manage to create it himself. I mean, look at how ugly the Dem primary was. Obama's actions didn't create the great healer image there-- but it came about anyway.yukio ngabyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13132998741555231924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3507098756489505132.post-6622772561174072732010-06-06T12:48:06.732-04:002010-06-06T12:48:06.732-04:00I don't thnk that the Left feels any loyalty t...I don't thnk that the Left feels any loyalty to Obama but the question becomes-who will they toss him aside for? I'm not seeing a viable alternative. <br /><br />On the other hand, I am not a Lefty so I may be overlooking their next great Messiah.Carolhttp://carolyntackettscloset.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3507098756489505132.post-89524406150651721172010-06-06T10:24:50.330-04:002010-06-06T10:24:50.330-04:00I'm not so sure about the Left sticking by Oba...I'm not so sure about the Left sticking by Obama. I think that as their agendas become more and more unpopular, they'll toss Obama aside. <br /><br />It's much easier for them to just blame Obama personally then to admit that their agendas are unpopular and unworkable.yukio ngabyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13132998741555231924noreply@blogger.com
