History repeats itself. This is looking a lot like 1977. Carter was hated by his own party, which had a lock on the legislative branch.

It's too bad nobody takes MoDo seriously as a pundit. Her opinions on politics are entertaining but don't matter.

Then she is simply ahead of the crowd.

There was study recently that suggested that adults and young children select leaders based on only their faces.

We elected a “pretty face” with Obama. Nothing more.

Goodness help our nation.

Now that their socialist scumbag is safely in office, this piss-mouse Dowd and the rest of her ilk can pretend to be critical of Dumbo in order to try to fool their meager reading audiences into believing they are objective observers - - genuine journalists, if you will - - and really do have at least a little credibility.

And their readers may just be stupid enough to buy it.

I agree that this is her most likely motivation. At the same time, it’s good to see that many people who we assume are totally on board with where we know Obama is going, really aren’t that comfortable with it.

She quotes Shakespeare's King Lear:

“This is the excellent foppery of the world, that, when we are sick in fortune — often the surfeits of our own behavior — we make guilty of our own disasters, the sun, the moon, and the stars.”

...now how many of her readers will even understand the quote, much less the implication?

I am not sure I buy the entire list. Anyone up in 2010 may be persuaded, but senators like Mary Landrieu (Louisiana) just got reelected so she will not be influenced....

Hmm. I guess I wasn’t clear.

Dowd is perfectly “comfortable with it”. She’s phony, and her column is a self-serving lie. The election is over, so now she can pretend she’s a real journalist. It’s all a lie. Lying is what these mice DO.

"We elected a “pretty face” with Obama. Nothing more."

I beg to differ. When he smiles, he reminds me of the "Mouth of Sauron" from the Lord of The Rings....

Oh,please.
They all have new knee-pads that are not even broken-in yet.
Give them all a year and see what they do.

So here is the list of Democrat Senators who may possibly be influenced with calls and emails.
... Amy Klobuchar (Minnesota)

Amy is my Senator, I'll call her, but she's from the hard left moon-bat liberal side of the Democrat Party. I can't believe anyone really thinks she'll show any sense here.
