Fifty Five: Obama's Peak

Here is another first for BO: He has reached the peak of his popularity and political power before ever taking the oath of office. The lions of TV journalism (viz. Campbell Brown types) have noted with appropriate amazement the positive approval ratings of a president-elect who by definition has never carried out an official act. This kind of pre-coronation euphoria might be expected or rationalized in a leader who has demonstrated proven leadership abilities in running a major state or corporation or other large entity. But what has BO done to justify this irrational and misplaced confidence? What are his credentials? I almost pity the poor guy. He's got nowhere to go but down.
