Long term perspective. Clinton should not have won in 92 either. Clinton’s rhetoric was a lot like Obama’s recent rhetoric (class warfare stuff). Clinton may not have had as unsavory connections as Obama, but bad is bad no matter how you slice it. We worked through Clinton and won decisively starting in 94.
1. Even with the MSM trying to destroy McCain/Palin at every opportunity, half the country voted for them anyway. Obama knows this and if he wants a second term, he will NOT try to force a far left agenda through. I wouldn’t make sense to. He doesn’t have a filibuster proof senate either, so he can’t push too hard.
2. The argument that we are a racist country is now gone. People of color will no longer be able to say that it’s pale people like me keeping them down. They will have to pull themselves up and stop blaming us for their inability to prosper in this the most prosperous nation on earth.
3. Republicans/conservatives in Congress have been shown what happens when you abandon fiscal conservatism and spend tax money like a liberal.
4. This is a warning - We have two years - We have to be very vigilant for two years beginning January 20. We had better work on getting some good Republican elected to the House and especially Senate, or we may very well get our asses handed to us for real.
