Maureen Dowd on Obama: proves it is possible to be intelligent and critical
He came as a redeemer and then — tied up in W.’s Gordian knots, dragged down by an economy leeched by wars and Wall Street charlatans — didn’t redeem. And nothing bums out a nation that blows with the wind like a self-appointed messiah who disappoints.

I think Dowd has a keen sense of observation.
"Obama is the victim of the elevated expectations he so skillfully created in 2008."

what does this do to the wingnut narrative that the Media is in Obama's corner?
