So am I. And there’s another interesting observation by Rush: Obama’s complete lack of cooperation with Republicans is by design; he’s not going to allow anything to happen that might result in his being seen as responsible for government policies while Republicans hold the House. He has to be perceived as and outside, the brave challenger constantly at war with unseen forces (and Republicans) who are trying to destroy the county. Then if he wins the House in the 2014 election, he can spend the last two years of his presidency finalizing the implementation of his agenda: citizenship for all illegals, a level of taxation on gun ownership that will put guns out of reach of everyone except the very wealthy and criminals, the socialization of the private sector (including whatever’s left of private medicine and medical insurance companies), and income tax increases that will bring about the end of entrepreneurship in this country.

No one should make the mistake of thinking Obama is stupid. He knows exactly what he’s doing, and he’s carrying it out brilliantly. With the complicity of the media and the acquiescence of Americans successfully dumbed down by 50 years of Democrat-run government schools, he is an unstoppable force. Or at least I can’t think of anything that can stop him.

Geez, sorry to be so depressing. Please, somebody, prove me wrong.

Meanwhile Reid's strategy has always been to keeps Senate Dems off the record as much as possible, particularly on the matters of spending and taxes. That way incumbents can pretend to be whatever they want to be on the campaign trail. Mitch has done a piss poor job of keeping his cats together long enough to use the tools that are at his disposal to get Reid's attention.

Obama can’t afford any compromise with Republicans because there’s not one aspect of conservatism that he can accept. He has to remain the outsider fighting for good against the evil, entrenched establishment. (Still taking notes here.)

One thing I disagree with is that Obama doesn’t have the courage to allow his name to be associated with his policies. I don’t think it’s a matter of courage. He just knows that if he’s associated with his own policies, Americans may begin to wake up and realize their dilemma is his fault, and that might slow the implementation of his agenda. He doesn’t want the responsibility of the presidency; he intends to live the rest of his life as the shining knight who did everything possible to defeat the forces of evil, when in fact he was the architect of that evil.

It’s a nightmarish twist on Ronaldus Magnus’ famous statement that you can get a lot done if you don’t care who gets the credit for it.

Geez, sorry to be so depressing. Please, somebody, prove me wrong.

I am right there with you and the only way I see the ship changing directions now is for an overwhelming majority of AMERICANS (those that believe in the TRUE words of the Founding Fathers and our Constitution) to come out in very large masses and with very large and motivational voices (leaders).

IMO, this will take many Americans to put their own life's dreams and ambitions on hold, possibly even their livelihood in terms of a steady job because attending many rallies will cause many to lose their time off work very quickly and possibly their job.
