RE :”Yet in a telling comment, when asked if President Obama’s reelection chances might be improved if the Democrats lost control of the House of Representatives in the midterms, Mr. Clinton said yes..”I think he was shocked at the intensity of the Republican opposition,” he said of President Obama. “But they learned from my first two years that if you just say ‘No,’ even though people hate it, you get rewarded for it, because it discourages the Democrats and it inflames your base. “So they're doing just what they did in ‘93 and ‘94. And so far it appears that they're being rewarded for it....”But, yeah, we passed a balanced budget bill, but it was easy to pass the balanced budget bill because 90% of the deficit was reduced by the budget that only Democrats voted for in 1993, that the Republicans beat them for, because that's what reversed trickled-own economics. That's what put the country on a whole new course. It was that budget, and the people who got beat were the people who voted for it.”

It should be obvious that Republicans taking the House will help Obama the next two years politically as with Clinton. How much we can't know. There is no way he could win re-election with the current congress.

You see that Clinton still gives the Democrat congress credit for balancing the budget in 1993, just before their election wipeout, even though he vetoed balanced budgets that the Republican congress sent to him after that. Clinton had the benefit of the Reagan peace dividend, the end of the cold war. The USSR fell and Bush before him started the unpopular base closings.

heheheh, you forgot the 'its the [bubble internet] economy stupid'...

I think youve been spot on about the upcoming results, ole juan wouldve killed any retaking of DC this yr, and the future is done if they dont seriously scrapp most of the bloated carcass of politics as usual and the behemoth of the fed...
