Schmed state, schblue state.
The idea of a divided nation, at least in terms of "them vs. us" is a myth.
We are all, as human beings, as different as we are alike.
And vice versa.
In that spirit, when it comes to supporting or disavowing any one political philosophy, candidate or office holder, I don't think of myself or any opinion/perspective I might offer as adhering to one side or the other merely for the sake of adhering to one side or the other.
All of the preceding is provided as preamble to the point of the moment.
Barack Obama is, with each passing day, proving to be more of a disappointment as a leader, national, political, or other wise.
But let's be very clear about something.
His failure is not due to the fact that he is some kind of Muslim terrorist in disguse meets Damien from The Omen with a plan to bring us to the end of days in accordance with some dark Koran inspired apocalypse.
His failure is due to the fact that he's simply not very good at the job he was hired to do.
And no matter the supposed color of the state that you and/or I live in, we can all relate to, if not be all thrilled about, that very human failing.
Let the criticism that is justified be freely expressed by one and all, red and blue.
But, seriously, let's take our best shot at being grown ups and try to keep in mind.
He's not the Anti-Christ.
He's Jimmy Carter.
