The imploding administration

It does appear, as this VDH column asserts, that the Obama administration is in the midst of imploding, so many embarrassing events have happened all at once.  In a recent interview Grover Norquist also commented on the reasons why the Obama recovery never took place and how difficult it is going to be for this administration to run away from the current state of the economy.  All in all it is hard to see how Obama can be reelected, however one should not overlook the appeal of socialism to many millions of people who would prefer to be 'taken care of' rather than compete in a vibrant and ever changing economy.
