Here’s an idea for the White House spin squad: the wipeout of 2010 is a rejection of Nancy Pelosi, not Obama. Politico tries it out:
"In the home stretch of the 2010 campaign, Speaker Nancy Pelosi, more than even President Barack Obama, is emerging as the heaviest drag on Democratic hopes of holding on to the House."
"In district after district, from Florida’s Gold Coast to central Ohio, in the Ozark Mountains, on the Minnesota prairie and in retiree-laden Arizona, Pelosi’s face, plastered on billboards, recorded in video clips and emblazoned on mailers, is casting a pall over her colleagues’ chances of winning reelection."
"Conventional wisdom holds that midterm elections are referendums on the president — and Obama is certainly the central figure in the unfolding drama of the 2010 election. But if Democrats lose the House, it’s likely to be as much a rejection of the policies and politics of a woman who has managed to simultaneously become one of the most powerful speakers in congressional history and one of the most unpopular figures in American politics today."
Now wait a sec. Aren’t those “policies and politics” Obama’s as well? In what regard did Pelosi and Obama ever disagree? True, Pelosi’s demeanor is even more grating than the president’s, but the agenda she jammed through was Obama’s — and his villains are hers

Serve that out on the lawn.
Invite the good guys into the house......
On second thought:
I will not feed a single NObama voter.....not a single mouthful.
Are the wheels of the bus even on the ground anymore?
The Mrs. and I are self-employed, so we'll be closing the shop on November 2nd. We'll do breakfast, then head to the polls to vote. The rest of the day and evening I'll be glued to FR, talk radio, and TV.
It's going to be a day to remember. We can't afford champagne, but I'll be hoisting a few cold beers to our success.
He can throw as many of them under the bus as he wants.
After all, they should have seen it coming after he tossed his “typical white grandmother” under it during the pres_ential campaign.
