Some people on the Left are beginning to understand just what a disaster Obama is turning out to be for them. Go here to read this interesting column by a fellow who can clearly see the electoral iceberg to which Obama is steering.

Obama’s done.
Once he begins losing his base he’s lost his second term.
At first I couldn’t even think it.

U.S. Politics are fickle; George H. W. Bush had an 89 percent approval rating only two years prior to his reelection attempt, and still lost the election. There is still a lot of ground to cover between now and 2012. Obama’s fortunes could change several times between now and then.
