内容摘要 Obama Derangement Syndrome BY MOST peoples standards Barack Obama has had an excellent week， He enjoyed a counter- Carter moment when navy commandos rescued an American hostage, leaving three kidnappers dead. He gave a measured speech on the economy. And, to cap it all, he gave his daughters a Portuguese water dog named "Bo". Whats not to like？ Plenty, according to some people. Mr Obama may be widely admired both at home and abroad. But there are millions of Americans who do not like the cut of his jib——-and a few whose dislike boils over into white-hot hatred. The American Spectator, which came of age demonizing the Clintons, has run an article on its website on Mr Obama entitled "Ii Duce, Redux？" The internet crackles with comparisons between Mr Obama and various dictators （Hitler, Stalin and Mussolini） or assorted psychotics （Charles Manson and David Koresh）. When Jonah Goldberg, a conservative pundit, praised Mr Obama over the dispatching of the Somali pirates, his e-mail inbox immediately overflowed, he said, with "snark and bile". A recent Pew poll showed that public opinion about Mr Obama is sharply divided along party lines. Some 88% of Democrats approve of the job that he is doing compared with only 27% of Republicans. The approval gap between the two parties is actually bigger than it was for George Bush in April 2001. Bush loyalists ,led, by Karl Rove, have duly over-interpreted this poll in order to soften their former bosss reputation as. Americas most divisive president. Todays Republican base is significantly smaller than the Democratic base, was in 300！,so surviving Republicans are more likely to have hard-coro views. But there are nevertheless enough people Out there who dislike the president to constitute a significant force in political life. As The Economist went to press, the bestselling book in the United States was Mark Levins "Liberty and Tyranny". Mr Levin frequently denounces Mr Obama on his radio show as an exponent of the second of those two qualities. The new sensation in the world of cahle is Fox Newss Glenn Beck, who has already attracted 2.2m regular viewers since his show was launched in January. Mr Beck recently apologized to his viewers for saying that Mr Obamas America is on the path to "socialism" when it is really on the march to fascism. Media Matters, a left-wing organization that monitors the media, reports that, since the inauguration, "there have been over 3,000 references to socialism, fascism or communism" in describing the president.
