There is no question that ObamaCare is driving this year's election. What analysts miss is that Obama has continued to demonstrate that the disastrous rollout of and subsequent problems with ObamaCare were not flukes.
He could have put a tourniquet on his political problems if he had decided to govern in a centrist way and simply told voters, “I heard you. You think I went too far. I got the message.”
Instead, he has continuously demonstrated that he did not get the message and that he is going to do what he wants anyway. He has been incredibly arrogant as a leader, and dangerously indifferent to his party's political fortunes.
You can't govern if you can't lead. Yet Barack Obama seemingly does not care what Democrat is defeated because of his “stuff,” as long as he gets to do his “stuff.”
Name one Democrat who can say they were a partner with him. They were a lever, that's all — because governing with Obama always has been about politics and never has been a team sport.
When he declared, “We are the change you have been waiting for,” what he meant was, “You are the stooges I have been waiting for to help me.”
Republicans cannot win a majority in this election cycle and just walk away, however. If they do, they will be no better than the people they replace, and they will quickly lose whatever goodwill Americans feel toward them.
The smart move for Republicans would be to focus immediately on an issue important to everyone, something that makes Americans more prosperous, stable and secure, such as energy.
Not focus on a catch-phrase like “Drill, baby, drill,” but focus on a comprehensive, all-of-the-above package that brings all sides together and shows Americans that Republicans can

I have a hard time believing in the validity of any model of Barack Obama that claims he is anything other than a puppet, a figurehead. If something moves the puppet masters, it will be reflected with Barack. As the bible says, the heart of the king is like water in the Lord’s hands. A good stern rebuke this November will likely have him pretending he never said much of what he did say, over and over.
However the big picture is still the Lord’s. Barack Obama is a sober, stiff warning of where iniquity can go. Will people embrace the Lord more thoroughly? It is the choice left to the people. Not even God will force it, though He will weave the results into destiny.
How FILTHY RICH are these souless, selfish, arrogant, deviant democrates that they fell for this imposter and protect him to this day.
still have 39% who think he didn’t go far enough.
Mitt is also a conflicted soul. He doesn’t like to win too big.
It really would not have mattered who ran against Obama, there still would have been massive voter fraud.
Two things why I am voting wholeheartedly this election.....1. To repeal obolacare and 2. To send illegals back to Mexico and Central!!
Should read central America!
Neither of those will happen no matter who wins.
TIN_EAR_PING!
Made a small fix.
The brakes have no brake shoes.
Sort of like Harry Reid working together by implementing the Nuclear option.
Don’t worry Salena McConnell will put the democrats back in charge by doing away with it and possibly sharing all committees with the democrats
The Democrats only talk like that when they lose, otherwise it is "We won, deal with it."
