Obama and/or his advisers had to know that what he was proposing to do during his first years would cause an American voter backlash. I think this is all part of his overall scheme to make the US the next banana republic and the upcoming elections will be no surprise to him. IHMO
Obamacare, expiration of "Bush tax cuts," obama tax increases, inflation, continuing unemployment, fascist regulatory bureaucrats heave into action.
IOW, we get the House just when everything goes to shit, courtesy of the 60-odd million idiot scumbags who voted for obama.
I beg to differ -They really believed that the time was ripe to proffer their version of America, having had 40 years to dumb down the electorate and create generations of dependents on the federal government (not to be confused with Uncle Sam, which they despise). These are the true believers in their own version of Marx, Alinsky, etal. With the “right” people in charge, socialism or Communism-lite can work. It has worked in their senior thesis from Harvard for years. It has worked in their spreadsheets in economics. It works, they believe in their hearts, as sure as there is day. But they have never factored in, let alone began to think of, the American Spirit, which has been placed in hearts of man by his Creator, which causes men to yearn to be FREE. Free of these Harvard types micromanaging their lives. Free to make life choices like wiping with more than two squares of paper (Sears Roebuck catalogues offered more than that, not so long ago)!! Free of the elites opinions of them or their theory about the bitterness and clinging to their guns and Bibles.
