Check out Joel Achenbach's post today. Brightened my spirits a bit:
The erosion of Obama's popularity over the past year is not a sign of some kind of failure on his part. It's actually a necessary part of governing well. A president has to spend political capital. Presidents become less popular if they do their jobs with any verve and take any chances. You have to spend that surplus of popularity or else you're in this business for the wrong reason.

Awww, c'mon PollyAnna: don't you get it? We're doomed! The sky is falling faster than the Dow, and some combo of the Third Reich and the KKK will be ruling from now on, because there are only 59 senators caucusing with the Democrats! The horror! The horror!
(uh, I think the cat ate my meds again).
Actually, the SCOUTUS ruling yesterday was a bit horrorific.
