Generally the British media have reported with more accuracy about American politics than mainstream American media to the point that if I want to read somewhat objective information about what is going on in the U.S. or its activities around the world, I have routinely resorted to reading British online newspapers. Sad but true. Here is another example of that from the Telegraph that says Obama is through. I think this conclusion is premature, but it makes for interesting reading and the reporter's reading of the mood of the country is spot on.
It's not just Obama, though, but the entire liberal approach to governing. Reagan was popular because he understood and embodied the native optimism and "can-do" attitude of the United States. The Democrats do not understand this any more, starting with their President, and that's why the public and the government are so out of sync. It's a heart issue, not a head issue.
