I predicted that Obama’s approval numbers would begin to plummet by summer of ‘09. He actually started sliding in the spring of last year and has exceeded even MY expectations for his decline.
What is difficult to predict at this point is what a “change” in the House (if not the Senate) will mean in real terms for the remainder of his presidency. We can “hope” that a change of management in the House could mean that the brakes would be applied to his Wreck America agenda and, possibly, leading to his impeachment.
However, we need to be realistic. The ‘Pubbies who are likely to assume control of the House are the same linguini-spined, clueless wonders who made such a mess of things that we LOST the House and the Senate in ‘06 and, of course, in ‘08! Do we honestly expect to do the same thing over again (put them back in control) and obtain a DIFFERENT result? And, the Senate is no different. There simply aren’t enough Tea Party backed candidates to fill the anticipated void if we succeed in taking control of at least one house of Congress.
So, again, what ARE our expectations and are we expecting too much??
This zit of an administration is finally coming to a head and America is ready to pop it!
