RE :”
After the Democrats’ shellacking at the polls in November, liberal pundits began evoking the Republican Congress that took power after a similar electoral defeat during President Harry Truman's first term. The “do nothing” Congress lasted just two years; in 1948, the Republicans ceded control of the Hill, and Truman was narrowly re-elected president. President Obama would like to replay this script and will take every opportunity to tag the incoming House Republican majority as obstructionist, irresponsible and out of touch”
If things play out the way I imagine House Republicans will use their majority investigative committees (and the alternative media) to keep Obama’s agenda unpopular looking towards 2012.
The MSM will be trying to pressure the RINOS to cut deals with Democrats as we saw with Lame Duck Session for one purpose: get Obama re-elected. They will keep on saying that it is in Republicans best interests to compromise and that the voters dont want investigations into government waste and anti-job impacts. But they never said this when Bush was President. And they will report the really bad sounding stuff themselves if it makes a good story.

The RINOS WILL cut deals. Bet on it.

Obama could win but I can’t see them winning back the House and it will be damn hard for them to keep the Senate. It would be more a repeat of 1996.
