When Peggy Left Barry - Readers' Comments - NYTimes.com: "But, Ms. Dowd's piece has been very illuminating. I'm always reading about starry-eyed Obama supporters who are now disappointed that he can't walk on water. I've always been puzzled by this because most of the hard-core Obama supporters (myself included) never viewed him as a superman. But I now see that the starry-eyed Obama supporters were actually 'easy answer' independents who flit from one easy answer: 'Tax cuts are the answer to everything and deficits don't matter', to the next: 'Put the intelligent, articulate guy in charge, he'll fix things', to the next: 'Tax cuts are the answer to everything and deficits matter a lot.' Of course, each set of easy answers ultimately leads to disillusionment because, gosh darn it, not everything works out exactly like we'd like. Sadly, these are the independent voters, the swing voters; and I guess we're all just stuck swinging along with them."
