This kind of hollowness oddly can’t be faked. It can only come from a truly empty core, lacking conviction and the animalistic rut from enjoying the immersion and parry of actual politics. It’s been said that Obama’s various levels of psychological outsider status renders him inert, an observer and judge. Whatever the reasons, his detachment, disengagement and ineffectiveness are now historical fact. His ‘Jobs Bill’ and proposal to the decadent ‘Super Committee’ dashed off to staunch the bleeding in the polls and get the “Professional Left” to love him again. They’re stupid enough to do it, too. Or even chase Ralph, again.
