New York Post columnist Michael Goodwin has fallen out of love with Obama. Since I was never "in love" with him, the whole idea is incomprehensible to me. Anybody who had a scintilla of information about The One knew that he was vastly unqualified to be President of the United States: he had zero executive experience, had barely served in congress, was a "community organizer" (which is what Al Sharpton does, I am told), disliked America and American values, and hung out in a church for twenty years while he his pastor proclaimed, "God damn America". Nice. Very nice. Now Goodwin is miffed because Obama's "health plan" will come at the expense of tax paying New Yorkers. Get a clue, Goodwin: New Yorkers are not as sophisticated as they would like the rest of the country to believe. They have this terrible habit of putting total jerks such as Charles Schumer in office so that he can royally screw them. And they will probably reelect him again in a landslide. For those of us who get to say, "we told you so", there is little satisfaction as we pay the same high taxes and watch our quality of life deteriorate. As for Obama's "interference" in New York elections (I am referring to the appointment of the hapless Kristen Gillebrand by David Paterson), the fact that Obama would try to undermine two black politicians (Paterson and Harold Ford Jr.) should surprise no one - he would walk all over his own country to get what he wants. He is, after all, from Chicago!
