Senior TIME writer Mark Halperin, on the S.S. Titanic Obama....

QuoteBarack Obama is being politically crushed in a vise. From above, by elite opinion about his competence. From below, by mass anger and anxiety over unemployment. And it is too late for him to do anything about this predicament until after November's elections.

With the exception of core Obama Administration loyalists, most politically engaged elites have reached the same conclusions: the White House is in over its head, isolated, insular, arrogant and clueless about how to get along with or persuade members of Congress, the media, the business community or working-class voters. This view is held by Fox News pundits, executives and anchors at the major old-media outlets, reporters who cover the White House, Democratic and Republican congressional leaders and governors, many Democratic business people and lawyers who raised big money for Obama in 2008, and even some members of the Administration just beyond the inner circle.

Halperin graciously informs us who the elites are and who are the proles in this debate. Jobs are for proles to whine about. We elites yell about Obama's job performance.

In all 57 states.

Meanwhile out in Proleville, it's the House incumbents feeling well-deserved heat, and columnist Burt Prelutsky sums it up nicely....

Quote"I think that, by and large, politicians are a bunch of weasels. I wouldn't trust them to tell me the time of day. I only ask that they vote exactly the way I would, if I had nothing better to do with my life than constantly raise money so that I could retain my cushy job; a job, by the way, that really only requires casting votes. When you get right down to it, voting is something we all do. The difference is that these stiffs get paid to do it, and then have bridges and airports named in their honor, as if they'd covered the construction costs with a personal check. ... If, like me, you have ever wondered how these people can bear to look in the mirror, I think the secret is that when you spend day after day looking at the likes of Harry Reid, Alan Grayson, Nancy Pelosi and Anthony Weiner, after a while the loathsome creature in the mirror doesn't look so awful."

We're 22 days away from the elections, and America has caught wise to the Democrats. Let loose the electoral lions. Amuse the crowd as we watch Dems get eaten alive, down in their pit.
