The Democratic Party must be privately suffering a heavy case of buyer’s remorse this week. Obama appears to have torpedoed all of their major initiatives by focusing all of his efforts on this Olympic Committee charm offensive. By failing in this minor pursuit he reveals he’s not up to the task of advancing larger projects. Also reveals the damage that his Administration has done in the International Community by tarnishing our relationships abroad. It will take decades to undo the damage. Cash for clunkers indeed.
Bambi’s, Michelle’s, Ax’s and Rahm’s biggest problem is that their political opponents (and many of their political “allies”) don’t fear them.
All may not be lost for Hussein.
The Heritage Foundation maintains that the stealthy Obamacare-as-an-amendment scheme is on track to pass both houses and be on Obama’s desk for signature by the end of next week, with no need for Senate “reconciliation.”
The public will be outraged if and when it goes through but the Blue Dogs and “moderate” Senate Dems are far more concerned with pressure from lobbyists and party leadership than they are with the people.
