"Folks in Middle America are realists. Middle America, besides geography, also refers to the American character -- irrespective of ethnic origin -- of being proud of a country built by the love and sacrifice of previous generations
into the greatest power in history.
Middle Americans uncomplainingly run the daily routines of keeping America free, prosperous and strong. Theirs is a story of unfailing optimism, generosity, courage and romance.
They cheer for the underdog, and might lend their ears for a while when an unknown fake like Harold Hill from the musical favourite, The Music Man, comes along. But it is not long before they see through the likes of Hill in
their midst.
They are grounded on values supported by common sense.
Their politics are well represented in the editorial pages of The Wall Street Journal, on Fox television, and by conservative radio personalities like Rush Limbaugh, as much as liberals may despise him.
Middle Americans, as such, will not long tolerate any Harold Hill-type fake, irrespective of how the mainstream media does the packaging, for their president."
America is still a country that, unlike Obama's European Utopia, still values individual achievement and substance. For the most part, we expect that those who want our respect and trust have done something to earn it. We also don't have a lot of sympathy for rubes. Obama's thin-skinned reactions to criticism and the over the top cheer leading of the media, is gaining the notice of the average American too busy to pay much attention to this circus just yet. His inability to move in the polls is a result of a lot of these folks starting to ask: "Who is this guy?"
If the American public at large gets the sense that Obama is the phony that he is, then he's sunk. When Obama takes the stage in Denver at the 50,000 seat venue his massive ego couldn't resist, a lot of Americans will be asking: "who the hell does this guy think he is?"
