"Which Side Are You On, Obama? Which Side Are You On?"

When you hear that question being echoed in the media, it's time to start thinking seriously about the possibility that Barack Obama, the nation's first African-American president, will only serve a single term.

When you see Obama accept environmental policies enacted by his predecessor, the man whose dismal Administration led us to embrace "hope and change," you have to wonder whether that's not what he deserves.

When you think about the Tweedledum and Tweedledee nature of current American politics, you have to wonder whether this is what we deserve.

And, when you consider the unwillingness of most Americans to stare the facts in the face, or even to take the time to look at them, the disheartening answer appears to be "Yes."
