I don't see any positive out-comes here.
If Obama wins he will cause lots of trouble, for example this time he will veto tax cut extensions because they include the rich, that will be his excuse and then he will blame Republicans yet take credit for deficit reduction.
If a Republican POTUS wins office what possible good can come of it? Another SCOTUS? That's a long shot.
He as we know will be quite flawed (one of these five, probably Romney) and will face an on-slaw of attacks and protests for 'putting the middle class below the rich' as Walker and Kasich did last year. And Republican voters will be even more demoralized than they were last year with the lack of results and performance. The debt is mounting leaving the next POTUS limited options for tax cuts or give-aways. It won't be pretty much like Bush second term wasn't.
Not to play a broken record :) but in some ways we would have been better off if the win in 2010 election was not as big as it was leaving Democrats with all the blame, as would a second Obama term. .
Remember all the rosy Pollyanna predictions last year for this years congress ??? Well the cheer leading will repeat itself.
My nightmare was a McCain term in office with a Republican House and Senate. That crusty old Leftist friend of Soros and Ted Kennedy, could have gotten anything he wanted pushed through.
I still cringe at the thought.
No this House hasn’t been good. It’s leadership seems like it’s six years old and getting pulled around by the nose, by a grown-up. And when you consider that Obama acts like a nine year old little boy, the approximate thinking skills of one too, this accomplishment by our House is startlingly unacceptable.
