The Dems can try to spin this however they want….

…but they just got shellacked In the closest thing we’ve had to a national referendum of the government thus far.

“Power tends to corrupt; absolute power corrupts absolutely.”

The Dems have had absolute power for a full year. They control the White House and both houses in Congress, even with a filibuster proof majority (until today). With all that power, support (even some from me *gasp*), and a lot of political capital following Obama’s historic win, they moved their agenda so far to the left that they’ve completely lost touch with reality… and apparently the voters in Massachusetts!

It really is tragic because a lot of the ideas Obama talked about in the campaign—including more transparency in Government— were good ones. But good ideas are not enough. Good ideas need to be backed up with determined action and sound implementation. I hate to say it but Obama has failed to live up to a lot of the promises he made on the campaign. The most glaring example is that he has begun to defer on key issues to his party’s leadership on Capitol Hill (you know who I mean) to define agenda, and the definition they’ve come up with has alienated a lot of people. For a President with such political power as he has, this is entirely ridiculous. Obama better get his house in order… fast.

Perhaps this Republican win will shake things up on Capitol Hill and finally convince the Democrats that the American people are unhappy with them. Very unhappy with them! This is not what we voted for, and if they want to avoid getting hosed in the next round of elections they had better get their act together real quick.
