Omitting the silly pic you felt a need to post, you say "get it while its hot!" like its a bad thing.
Hot is good!
Obama is beginning his term with more political capital and public support of any president since Kennedy and that includes Reagan.
Kennedy's political capital was generational. Reagan's was ideological and the rejection of a incompetent predecessor.
Obama's combines all the above...generational, a rejection of the Bush years and a post-ideological outreach that many previously cynical voters view with a sense of optimism. His understanding of politics and policy also exceeds both Kennedy and Reagan who were far more superficial in their appeal.
Perhaps thats why you might feel so threatened......the country just might be passing you by and if he succeeds, and the challenges are far greater than those faced by Kennedy and Reagan, he (and the direction he takes the country) will be hotter for a lot longer than you think.
Hey..its a bitch to be marginalized like that.
