Excerpt:

...

Mr. Obama has been particularly perplexed by the revolt against his ideas, for two main reasons:

c First, he (like the rest of his party) misread November’s election results as a mandate to impose a far-left agenda without debate. The American people, however, still believe in the quaint idea of robust discussion before ideas are turned into law. They also make up a country that remains ideologically center-right. This week, Gallup released a poll showing that conservatives now outnumber liberals in all 50 states, and that 40 percent self-identify as conservative versus only 21 percent self-identifying as liberal.

...

The second reason involves Mr. Obama’s lack of political combat experience. He has never been hit before. Until the health care blowup, none of his significant political opponents ever really landed a punch. During his early Chicago political career, he ran opponents off the ballot, but such community-organizing manipulation doesn’t translate well nationally. And now he finds himself in the presidency, never having known what it is to take a body blow.

...

The end result is a president who doesn’t know how to take a political hit or repel one without resorting to desperate and shameful attacks on the opposition.

Please...not trying to be terse here, but Obizmal misread nothing...he is under strict mandate of operation by George Soros.

Soros, financial nation killer that he is, has done the misreading this time. We are the leader of the world and he hates us for it...Thank God we were established under GOD!
