Greg Lewis / The New Media Journal

 
There’s a story about a young man who comes home one day and says to his father, “Dad, I know who I am and what I want to do with my life: I’m a sea captain.”

The father looks at him and says, “Son, you know you’re a sea captain, and I know you’re a sea captain, but do sea captains know you’re a sea captain?”

There’s a political corollary that goes something like this: You know Barack Obama is crook and a failure and unfit to be president, and I know Barack Obama is a crook and a failure and unfit to be president, but do a majority of American voters know Barack Obama is a crook and a failure and unfit to be president?”

In other words, the big risk in this election is thinking that a majority of Americans see the presidential race as we conservatives see it, that they’re as disturbed by the tone and tactics of the Obama campaign as we are. But if we take a closer look at what most Americans — liberal and conservative — are seeing, it should be a wake-up call to us.
