I'm gonna touch a little bit more on the complete detachment from reality the right wing seems to be having in regards to the Obama presidency, i.e. Kent and Jaz. Now it must be hard to have your entire World crumble before you and I'll try not to hit on that too hard, but having your World fall apart all around you plays a large part as to why instead of inching closer to reality the Fantasy World Republicans believe it better to move even further to the right and close the curtains and the blinds to the reality outside their window. It's a common psychological reaction to waking up to a world that you no longer recognize and one you no longer have any role to play. Like Cooper says, it must be hard to have a circle jerk when you're impotent.

Some how, some way, and it's too complicated to work out on a blog post, but Kent, like so many other Fantasy World Republicans, has it dreamed up in his head that Obama was campaigning to change the way President Clinton did business. It's a common occurrence for Republicans to overlook their current Republican president and just go straight to the last Democratic president and blame everything on them. Hence Kent's suggestion that it's "ironic that President-elect Obama -- a supposed change agent -- is now busily surrounding himself with all the old Clinton hands. Obama I is going to be Clinton III. Goody. That's just more of the same, Dude. Precisely what you didn't want."

No Kent, what I precisely didn't want was more of George Bush not Bill Clinton. It was change from the Bush Presidency that me and 67 million other Americans voted for, not change from the Clinton Presidency. I know it's impossible for Kent and his Fantasy World inhabitants to comprehend such logic, because after all who would want to change anything about the Bush Presidency? Everything in the last 8 years has been splendid so there's nothing to change. It's obvious when Obama was campaigning and talked about and promised change he meant change from the 90s.

Bill Clinton left office as one of the most popular presidents in American history. George Bush, however, will leave office as the most unpopular president in American history. I have no idea why Kent and his cohorts would think change means changing the way Clinton did business. Apparently, once again, the Republican Fantasy World is going to overlook George Bush. Just like when talking about politics and the situation America faces today, we are never allowed to mention George Bush and his 8 years of unfettered rule and if we do we are "angry," "ignorant," a "tool," and/or a "bonehead." Just like that RFW Rule, we are also supposed to believe, no entirely adopt the notion, that Barack Obama campaigned against the way Bill Clinton ran the country and not George Bush. That's their World. That's how their "arguments" unfold. By all means don't take my word for it, read it for yourself.
