The immense gratitude Republicans owe Obama

One of these days Republicans will begin to realize what a political miracle-worker Barack Obama has been for the Party of Lincoln these past 82 months.
Yes, yes, Obama’s economic policies and regulations have created the worst economic recovery and most sluggish job market in six decades. They’ve stifled the dreams of millions, chased them from the workplace, limited their choices and increased widespread reliance on government handouts.
His serial lies and cynical abuse of authority and privilege through over-reaching power and over-blown language have corroded Americans’ trust in their most hallowed institutions.
Obama’s sequester suggestion helped hollow America’s once dominant military to an enfeebled condition requiring years to rebuild. Obama’s stubbornly naive foreign policies, if you call them policies, have turned America into the paper tiger once the wishful dream of communists.
Obama’s reluctance or inability to lead in anything other than appeasement created vast vacuums of power abroad for eager opponents to expand as thousands perish in the conflicts.
But, boy oh boy, has Obama devastated the Democrat Party. As Tuesday’s off-year election results revealed across the country, it will take those folks years to recover, while Obama makes millions off his next ghost-written books.
Yes, indeed, the Me-First President did win a second term, albeit with five million fewer votes than his first. As the Obama countdown clock winds through the last 441 days of his 2,922 total, let us count the blessings this Chicago Democrat has bestowed on Republicans:
Ah yes, the obligatory 'but' sentence.
Amazing, that power of suggestion. Here all along I thought it took legislation passed by our Republican-led Congress to fund the military (or not).
