Our liberal elites in action: \u00a0liberal talk host Bill Press says Obama’s polls are collapsing because \u00a0Americans are a bunch of spoiled brats<\/a>; Brian Maloney transcribes:<\/p>\n

I think this says more about the American people than it does about President Obama. I think it just shows once again that the American people are spoiled. Basically, spoiled– as a people, we are too critical. We are quick to rush to judgment, we are too negative, we are too impatient. Especially impatient. We want it all solved yesterday, and if you don’t, I don’t care who you are — get out of the way.<\/p>\n

And again, basically spoiled. To the point where it makes me wonder if it’s even possible to govern today. I gotta tell you, I don’t think Abraham Lincoln — who certainly didn’t get everything right the first time — could govern today. I’m not sure Franklin Roosevelt could govern today, the way we are again. Just about like spoiled children. And it’s Americans, and it’s the media, and if we don’t get instant gratification, then screw you is basically our attitude.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Bill Press: \u00a0Get a grip.<\/p>\n

You think Ronald Reagan got carried to success on the shoulders of the entire American people right after his election?\u00a0 Please – the media certainly sniped at him nonstep (then as now).<\/p>\n

Competence helps.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
