Your Tears Are Delicious

The old cliche holds that once an election is lost, the long knives come out. Behold as Mort Zuckerman pretty much sends a Chicago Cutlery warehouse sale to the president. You want red meat? Check this action out:

Obama’s ability to connect with voters is what launched him. But what has surprised me is how he has failed to connect with the voters since he’s been in office. He’s had so much overexposure. You have to be selective. He was doing five Sunday shows. How many press conferences? And now people stop listening to him. The fact is he had 49.5 million listeners to first speech on the economy. On Medicare, he had 24 million. He’s lost his audience. He has not rallied public opinion. He has plunged in the polls more than any other political figure since we’ve been using polls. He’s done everything wrong. Well, not everything, but the major things.

I don’t consider it a triumph. I consider it a disaster.

Read the whole thing -- it's an epic tantrum.
