“Elections have consequences,” Scott Rasmussen says.

Hopefully more Americans will come to understand this now.

This is why they’re in a hurry to Rahm through as much nasty legislation as possible. The clock’s ticking.

They have to get this done before the approval numbers go completely south and they have no political capital.

They have to get this done fast to so strengthen themselves and weaken the opposition that they remain in power no matter how badly people hate them.

They have to get this done fast before the 2010 election cycle begins and they will be forced to put on their moderate faces for a season.

I think, and I hope to God I'm right, that Obama is basically done as a legislator. Cap 'n' Trade is dead. Major health care reform is dead. Clinton tried huge initiatives when he first came into office, and they fell flat, so he resorted to talking instead of doing. Obama is clueless about how to get legislation passed, and he thinks that passing it fast is the solution. Pelosi, also thankfully incompetent, is helping him.

I was relieved when Obama won. Both he and McCain are socialists, but Obama is an idiot. Better he drag the name of Democrats through the mud than have McCrazy (further) wreck the Republican brand. Say what you like about Bill Clinton, but he is smart. He realized his first mistakes and morphed. Obama has the heart (no soul) of a communist dictator, and he'll just keep pushing losing ideas just as Jimmy Carter did. The conservatives have a golden opportunity to win big in 2010 if they play this right. Unfortunately the deficit and economy will be in shambles by then.

BO’s dropping numbers are the reason he is trying to get his health and energy plans passed so quickly....before EVERYONE wakes up.

Some people are beginning to stir, but if he can get it done now—he’ll be able to then turn his attention to adminstration and regulation of our free speech and civil rights. And his plans for THOSE parts of our lives, I think, are even more draconian than the health and energy aspects.
