Change we can all believe in. But note: If the Republicans take the House and (maybe) the Senate they had better take on the agressive tone of a hungry pit bull! The danger is, if they are all nice and “bipartisan” then Obama will deflect all the voter anger onto them and win re-election.
Here is some excellent perspective on this:

Obamas Economic Time-Bomb Set to Explode in 2011
__________________________________________
This does not pass the smell test. No sir.
There’s still 5 and 1/2 months left in this year.
I say: Obamas Economic Time-Bomb Set to Explode in 2010.
Republicans make huge gains in Fall 2010 elections.
US economy tanks in 2011.
Republicans dither and do little (as usual).
Obama claims that we were on track, but the people elected in 2010 are the problem.
Obama and Dems re-take power in 2012.
Defund the left. Immediately. Cancel the newspaper. Don’t go to a movie.
Anything that isn’t explicitely conservative in the media. Turn it off.
Seriously. Kill them when they are weak. Which is now. Let them ponder the Democratic Congress’ misdeeds from the unemployment line.
Does this mean we should expect a huge stock sell-off in 4Q 2010?
If the republicans get control of the legislatures the thing they must do is vote to repeal all of the Socialist initiatives of this president. The must vote to defund the left. They need to kill several regulatory agencies. Make Obama get out his veto pen. This simple fact of the matter is the continuing economic slowdown may be irreversible without significant changes and pain. Middle of the road compromise solutions will not work. Make Obama veto these laws. Make him veto a flat tax. Make him veto glass stegall. This way the republicans can paint him as obstructionaist.
The deteriorating situation we find ourselves in is no accident. It isnt due to incompetence or inexperience, rather it is the direct result of premeditation. Every single one of Obamas policies has been cloaked as some critical reform, the practical effects of which cant possibly be known until after implementation.
