The blogosphere is abuzz with speculation tonight about the real identity of the strange and wonderfully timely "Ellie Light," President Obama's No. 1 fan and apparently the owner of more residences than Donald Trump, John McCain and John Kerry combined. Not to mention an indefatigable letter writer.

A year ago, if we had read in the paper that employers were hiring again, that health care legislation was proceeding without a bump, that Afghanistan suddenly became a nice place to take your kids, we would've known we were being lied to. Back then, we recognized that the problems Obama inherited as president wouldn't go away overnight.
But today, the president is being attacked as if he were a salesman who promised us that our problems would wash off in the morning. He never made such a promise. It's time for Americans to realize that governing is hard work, and that a president can't just wave a magic wand and fix everything.
