The Obama Reality Distortion Field

On the one hand, who the hell cares what Mel Brooks, 85, thinks about President Obama's job performance? On the other hand, the funnyman's words are still worth listening to: "You got to be so damn tough to get what you want, and he’s not that kind of guy. The common man is in a lot of trouble. That’s all I can tell you," Brooks told the Daily Beast during an interview. This, mind you, has nothing to do with reality. But it's perception. And that "reality" is shared by too many rank and file Democrats, particularly liberals. Chalk up another win for the GOP propaganda machine and its media enablers. Mr. Obama will be able to undistort this reality distortion field during the upcoming campaign. Still, I hope the president and his peeps are mindful of the uphill task ahead.
