Holly forwarded this post to several us via email, from Carol Platt Liebau writing at Townhall.com. Liebau concludes:
… as the campaign drags on, there will be more opportunities for voters to decide that [Sen. Obama] and his wife share a profoundly negative perspective on America that ill-becomes a presidential couple, and which differs radically from the views of the average citizen.
Really?
On the question of whether or not the country is headed in the right direction, the latest RCP Average suggests a super majority (67.7%) think we’re headed in the wrong direction.
Now, I’m not one of those who is entirely negative on the country. Far from it. I’m further convinced there’s a large professional class of “woe-are-we” pundits who need to take a collective dose of Valium. However, it’s possible to be both pro-America and anti-direction. And while the jury’s still out on the Obamas, I don’t think they can legitimately be criticized for articulating the sentiments of 67.7% of the citizens of this country.
Ms. Liebau might want to consider checking reality every now and then before opining from inside her detached bubble.
