One might expect Democrats to be euphoric during this holiday season. After recapturing control of Congress in 2006, and last year taking back the White House by electing America's first African-American president, Democrats are now on the verge of passing a historic health care reform law. But instead of celebrating, they are bitterly divided. Former Democratic Party chairman Howard Dean and liberal bloggers are urging the Senate to defeat the health care bill. Many are criticizing President Barack Obama for compromising too much, saying the proposal doesn't go far enough, while more moderate and conservative Democrats are petrified the bill and the President's agenda are too ambitious and will cost them re-election next year. Polls show that while a majority of Americans favour some form of health care reform, most oppose the current Democratic proposals.
The controversy over health care reform isn't the beginning or the end of the problems facing President Obama and Democrats who increasingly fear that in next November's midterm elections their 60-40 advantage in the Senate could be significantly diminished and they could lose outright control of the House of Representatives. In the last six weeks, four Democratic House members in swing districts have announced their retirements, putting their seats in grave danger. A fifth, newly-elected last year with $1,000,000 of party support, just announced he is changing parties, becoming a Republican. This honeymoon cruise with Barack Obama as President has hardly been smooth sailing.
While President Obama's overall poll numbers aren't good, they aren't terrible either. More ominous for Democrats is the beating their party in Congress has taken this year.(continued)

Bozo has the lowest approval rating of any President ever at this point in their presidency and this guy says his numbers aren't terrible. I would like to see what he calls terrible.
Overpromised and underdelivered.
We know what he is. He just fooled a lot of Iowegians...
The country’s problems are above his pay grade.

The liberal pundits don't want to say it. But they're starting to grudgingly acknowledge that their guy is a bomb.
Eventually, they'll come to realize he might've been the worst thing that ever happened to the Democrat party. And America...

The liberal MSM will never acknowledge they have foisted this affirmative action disaster on America. Never ...
The Democrat Party is the worst thing to ever happen to America. Obozo’s driving the train full throttle and the bridge is out...
Another make the crap up as you go journalist!
Right. They are all Socialists. President Obonzo is one of their Fellow Travelers.
Let's see.....US government subsidized: railroads, aircraft, nuclear power, automobiles (road system), the internet, and many others. Lots of private sector jobs there.
Every stovepipe has an elbow in it.
You know how it is with Lefties. They always set the bar lower for themselves than for their political opposition, and change it as they go, so that they can claim 'success'. Like: 5% unemployment under George Bush: terrible! 10% unemployment under Bozo: NOT terrible. $300 billion dollar deficit under Bush: TERRIBLE!!! $1.4 trillion dollar deficit under Zero" NOT terrible. Republicans: Keep the economic recovery going and protect US interests and freedoms: TERRIBLE!!!!! Democrats: Plunge the US into a recession/depression and compromise US interests and freedoms in every way: NOT Terrible. And so on and so forth... This sort of hypocrisy and corruption is the soul of Leftism.
Please name for me the nuclear power plant that is currently in private hands and not the direct control of either a federal or state government agency.
You know how it is with Lefties. They always set the bar lower for themselves than for their political opposition, and change it as they go, so that they can claim 'success' and attempt to deny the same to their opponents by using a completely different, higher standard. Like: 5% unemployment under George Bush: terrible! 10% unemployment under Bozo: NOT terrible. $300 billion dollar deficit under Bush: TERRIBLE!!! $1.4 trillion dollar deficit under Zero: NOT terrible.

Those were companies providing goods and services to the federal government, energy consumers, etc. The Internet was created by DARPA, but the Dot.Coms were private firms serving consumers and other businesses, for the most part.
I don’t find it scarey in the least. If I was one of those Commie, socialists, back stabbing, lieing, low lives, I would be worried also. It is time the American Public found out what a snack pit Washington has become..
