“He stubbornly clings to the belief that his policies had nothing to do with the historic “shellacking” the voters gave his party and instead blames the red tide on his lack of communications skills.”
Totally false.
Obama ‘gets it’ that the electorate rejected his policies but he doesn’t care. He firmly believes there is a moral obligation to impose these policies on America. Obama blames these losses on a moral failure of the American people to accept this obligation.
For example, during the 2008 campaign, Obama was asked to justify his desire to increase capital gains taxes in spire of the evidence that this would only reduce government revenues (isn’t that the purpose of taxes, to raise money for the government?). Obama responded that even if it reduce revenues, capital gains increases were only fair since they would prevent futher disparities in income.
The only thing that drives this man is a belief that anything that ‘speads the wealth around, reducing income disparities’ is his moral obligation to impose upon America.
Correct. I laugh when I hear the MSM pundits all theorizing that “If Obama wants to work with the new Congress he will have to move to the center.” Obama doesn’t give a s#*t about the center - I predict that he will become more and more desperate as time goes on...
