It's the bane of demagogues.  Or near-demagogues.  Or those who raise up imperfect men to be demagogues.  It's called "expectations," impossible expectations.  And impossible expectations are what are dooming Barack Obama.  That and terrible policies.  Call it a double-whammy.

Providence is the enemy of pretenders, and hubris is the end for all demagogues.  Barack Obama -- the mainstream media-invented Sun King -- comes closer to eclipse with each passing day.  A stagnant economy, on the verge of getting worse under Mr. Obama's tutelage, will be the boot on the president's rear on Election Day.
