Certainly, 2009 is not ending on the note that Obama supporters - or the President himself - expected. Iran develops a nuclear arsenal unchecked, spitting in the eyes of the United States and the rest of the world. As evidenced on Christmas Day, Al Qaeda adherents still plot to murder innocent Americans. Notwithstanding his campaign pledge to slow the rise of the oceans, President Obama will find it difficult to execute at home the climate-change promises he made abroad.
And that's just foreign policy. At home, the "stimulus" rushed through Congress with the promise of a quick economic recovery and more jobs has shown no results - except trillions in new deficits, high unemployment and a continuing story of payoffs to key Democrat constituencies. Health care "reform" - intended as the apotheosis of liberal, big-government do-gooderism - has degenerated into a political disaster for the Democrats, with significant majorities of Republicans and independents opposing new congressional legislation so misbegotten that even its supporters characterize it as "flawed."
Yet even as Obama's partisans have been surprised, perhaps his political adversaries have been astonished, as well. Given the uncritical coverage of the new President by the media during last year's campaign - and the warm embrace extended to him by the overwhelming majority of Americans last January - the magnitude of...

Certainly, 2009 was a dark and disheartening year for lovers of economic and individual liberty. But if next year shapes up in accordance with current trends, the tide is about to change. With a growing recognition of the preciousness (and fragility) of liberty and a renewed appreciation of our founding principles, America is poised for a rebirth of freedom. Hail 2010: The Year of the Citizen.

Oh and let's not forget the way they smell.....
As opposed to irregular Americans???
Oh, come on. You can't judge an entire national political party based solely upon Nancy Pelosi.
Unfortunately, the terminally stupid Republicans seem to be proving themselves to be completely unable to take advantage of this situtation. Someone running as a Conservative, Independent, or Libertarian is highly unlikely to win no matter how qualified, so the Democrats will win by default, with a little fraud thrown in just to make sure.
Pound them into the sand.
Politically speaking. So far.
I am a Premium American.
Irregular Americans are democrats - that's what makes them irregular Americans. Regular Americans don't hope and plan for change that will destroy America.
Irregular ones do, they have their own party, and they have control over the executive, legislative, and judicial branches until sometime after the 2010 elections - at the earliest...
Psssst! I was actually trying to make a joke (regularity/irregularity - the need for exlax and so forth). Sorry.
Not exactly sure what a Premium American is. I’m a 9th or 10th generation American (1653 was year of my first American born ancestor)
Just what are the pubbies supposed to do now? Keep your powder dry. The rats are doing a good job screwing everything up.
Venezuela's chavez slammed obama for smelling like sulfur, i.e. rotten eggs.
It's not good for obama when he wants to be the top thug while lesser thugs ridicule him.
Stupidity should hurt; and when it finally all goes bust, a lot of folks are gonna be in for a painful surprse.
Well, constipation could explain the never ending crankiness of Democrats.
Obama is America’s First Failed Black Pres-dent.....
Exactly!!! Plus, it makes sense since they are all full of sh!t.
Because we had it so good w/ Bush adn grew tired and lazy.
Then in ‘06 the dems took over and gas went to 4 bucks.
Then zero got elected and all he!! broke loose and folks started to wake up.
...and that really sucks for any future minority candidate for president, even a conservative minority candidate is going to get the stink eye.
