Tonight’s emphatic conservative House victory in the US midterms is a powerful rejection of President Obama’s handling of the economy and his Big Government agenda, including his controversial healthcare reform plans. The conservative revolution has been largely spurred by disenchantment with the federal government, and a strong belief in limited government, lower taxation, and reduced public spending, as well as a desire to return to America’s Founding principles.
It is also a powerful rejection of American decline, currently being fueled by massive debts at home, weakened defences and a defeatist foreign policy. The federal debt has jumped from 40 percent of GDP in 2008 to 62 percent by the end of this year, the highest percentage since World War Two.
As I noted several weeks ago, when I wrote of the consequences of an unchecked presidency acting with impunity:
Under the Obama White House, economic decline, feckless borrowing and towering debts, which will rise dramatically further if hugely expensive health care reforms are implemented, are combined with a flawed foreign policy and national security strategy which is leaving America weaker on the world stage and more vulnerable to attack. From its decision to scrap Third Site missile defences in eastern and central Europe, to its failed policy of engagement with Iran and its timetable for withdrawal from Afghanistan, the Obama presidency is projecting dangerous weakness and compromise in the face of its enemies.
Ultimately, President Obama’s legacy to America will be the decline of a great superpower, weighed down by crushing debts and massive entitlement programs, and facing an emboldened set of adversaries, from Moscow to Tehran to Pyongyang. The damage inflicted by the Obama administration will ultimately be worse than the harm caused by the presidency of Jimmy Carter due to the scale of the long-term economic

I wish the silly people still sporting their Obama bumper stickers could be time-warped for a view of a future history book's assessment of their messiah.
Well said, Mr. Gardiner.
Awesome. The UK press isn’t quite lost yet.
And we must also say no to Islam coming to America.
bttt
Excellent !! Great post.
I suspect the euroweenies are heaving a sigh of relief as they need us to be strong because they are so weak.

Every time I see an Obama sticker I become irate. AFter all he has done to destroy this country- to defiantly go around announcing to the world that you not only voted for him (bad enough!), but STILL support him? Scrape that thing off already!
I am the same way. I actually started a bit of a confrontation with a woman in the grocery store parking lot who had two of them on her car. I told her she was ruining my children's future, etc. She just mumbled something about how we could all have our own view. They are such wimps. They don't even know why they voted for him, so they can't even have a conversation about it.
The last great island of hope still stands. We've moved from bailing out the water to building up the shore.
Obamao’s plan was to level us down to the lowest common denominator.
If ever there was a complete lack of understanding of what America means to the world, it was this man’s ignorance.
Someone over there gets what happened. We may have just saved the world folks.It is going to be tough going for a while and sacrafices will have to be made but America will be Great again very soon probably sometime after 2012 when we can kick the trash in the WH out.
