DELUSIONS OF THE LEFT – AT 10:24 A.M. ET:   To show how delusional the left has become, the following appeared under the byline of Katha Pollitt in the very left-wing Nation magazine: 

I miss him already. Say what you like, President Barack Hussein Obama is supremely intelligent, witty, humane, reasonable, elegant, a great writer, a model father, a good husband, a decent human being. He has empathy and humor. He is sane and calm. He gave us eight years free of scandal and drama: no interns, no corruption, no jobs handed out to outrageously unqualified people (a hallmark of the George W. Bush years—remember “Heckuva job, Brownie”?). Although it’s unfashionable these days to care about dignity and decorum—we’re all vulgarians now, living inside a perpetual reality-TV show— Obama brought seriousness and purpose to an office that had been a kingdom of dimwittery and darkness for eight years. He acted as if knowing what you’re talking about actually mattered. And he did all this as a black man in white America, which went crazy whenever it remembered he was black—for example, when he spoke up mildly in support of a world-famous Harvard professor who was challenged for being in his own home by a local cop. Obama persisted, with grace, in the teeth of a Senate that treated him as so illegitimate that it even refused to hold hearings for his last Supreme Court nominee. To tell you the truth, I don’t know how he could stand it.

COMMENT:  It must be wonderful to live in the world of children.  For eight years we've had a let's-pretend president, and the results, especially in foreign policy, are obvious. 

I intend to lead a group of qualified singers to Ms. Pollitt's window and serenade her.  Our first selection:  "Thank Heaven for Little Girls."
