Remember the old song - "Another One Bites the Dust"?  Well, we now have Camille Paglia - ardent fan of all things Obama (remember her?) expressing her displeasure with The One.  She wonders " Is it too late for Obama to turn it around/"  Hell, Camille, he was never heading in the right direction in the first place.  Sorry, but you evidently did not get the memo PUMA sent out a long time ago.  We tried to inform and enlighten the Dems - but we're just bitter, old, dead-end, red necks, who didn't get over it, get on board, or sit down and shut up - like the DNC told us to do.  Why would anyone listen to us??

".....And, another one's down, and another one's down.  Another one bites the dust."


Obama Supporter Camille Paglia Roasts President and Dem Leadership Over a Spit…
By Ani on September 9, 2009

Camille Paglia’s article in Salon, Too late for Obama to turn it around? is a scathing assessment which drips disappointment and dare I say it, a sense of betrayal. Most surprising is that eight months after Obama’s inauguration, this accomplished writer has arrived at the same place most of us were 18 months ago when looking at the Obama hopium. The only surprise is that a woman as savvy as Ms. Paglia would have been taken in by the sales pitch of his campaign in the first place. She begins:
What a difference a month makes! When my last controversial column posted on Salon in the second week of August, most Democrats seemed frozen in suspended animation, not daring to criticize the Obama administration’s bungling of healthcare reform lest it give aid and comfort to the GOP. Well, that ice dam sure broke with a roar. Dissident Democrats found their voices, and by late August even the liberal lemmings of the mainstream media, from CBS to CNN, had drastically altered their tone of reportage, from priggish disdain of the town hall insurgency to frank admission of serious problems in the healthcare bills as well as of Obama’s declining national support.
…As an Obama supporter and contributor, I am outraged at the slowness with which the standing army of Democratic consultants and commentators publicly expressed discontent with the administration’s strategic missteps this year. … from week one after the inauguration, when Obama went flat as a rug in letting Congress pass that obscenely bloated stimulus package. Had more Democrats protested, the administration would have felt less arrogantly emboldened to jam through a cap-and-trade bill whose costs have made it virtually impossible for an alarmed public to accept the gargantuan expenses of national healthcare reform. (Who is naive enough to believe that Obama’s plan would be deficit-neutral? Or that major cuts could be achieved without drastic rationing?)
Due respect to Ms. Paglia, she might ask herself why she bought into any of this before the election. We did not. Their disastrous spending plans: using the cover of the economic crisis to push through pet projects under the phony label of stimulus, offering bailouts of Wall St., not Main Street. People are without jobs, losing their homes and they are playing games with our money? Most readers at NQ sensed where Obama’s allegiance would be 18 months ago. I find precious little satisfaction in yet another prominent Obama supporter expressing disgust. The stakes are too high and we are now stuck.
