The Galbraith Effect

RealClearPolitics - Articles - The Galbraith Effect?

Thomas Sowell is a very intelligent man that also happens to be black. He talks about John Kenneth Galbraith giving a blow-away superb lecture to open a semester, but then how he just kept giving that very same, very general lecture, and the students drifted away. Could that be the case for BO?

Essentially, all BO ever had was "one great speech". Hope-change-future-new-not Bush-end the war. Popular with a whole bunch of folks, especially on the left, but there never has been any "there there". Yes, "soaking the rich" sounds like fun to many, but it is "fun" like killing the golden goose is fun. It tends to be a very short lived variety of fun.

BO doesn't care about this unless it hurts his election chances, so he and the MSM will push like crazy to be sure that he gets elected. BUT, the polls don't seem to be following what the MSM would expect for the "perfect candidate with all the money".

Maybe voters don't actually like the prospect of a true empty suit in the White House when it is still a very dangerous world without any gaurentees of future economic or other success.
