It surely appears that the Russians are the grown-ups in this matter.
The Russians have been handling them with kid gloves trying to help them succeed because they know these clowns are secretly their sycophantic allies. Yet their stupidity and boorishness makes it impossible for even the Russians to show them the way. The Russian push back is making Obama and company look like the shallow suits that they are even to our own fawning news media. How are they suppose to spin this for the low information voters. They don't know.
That is part of the reason why in Colorado two gun grabbers just got their walking papers. There is no enthusiasm left in the press. They achieved all of their goals and now they are stagnating unable to rouse even enough interest to save two lefty gun grabbers from a recall with only a fraction of their voters turning out for the election. How different from the attempt to take out Scott Walker in Wisconsin.
What we are witnessing is a possible tide change as great as the fall of the Berlin Wall. The left has reached its pinnacle with Obama and now they now have no place to go but down. Ironically perhaps we can give credit to our adversaries, the communists, the radical environmentalists, and even the Muslims for their own defeat. They have all over reached and mostly gotten what they asked for.
Now it is becoming plain for all to see that the warming trend that the world first entered a couple hundred years ago has now paused. The fiscal policies of Obama and company have extended what should have been a normal cyclic recession and turned it into a crisis that threatens the economic well being of generations. The “Arab Spring” has done nothing but cause the deaths of untold tens of thousands of innocent people and turned hundreds of thousands more into refugees. The left got what they wanted and it has exposed them as the frauds that they are.
I am not saying that our troubles with the left are over... just that it appears that they have reached their zenith temporarily at the least and that the pendulum is likely to swing back the other direction for the next couple of decades. The time is ripe for a true leader on the right to emerge.
