This is not a referendum on Obama. The rethuglicans do not need to swell with pride. The curtain

[mfcorey1]

now pulled back further on them and their shenanigans. The MSM, that has loved them, will soon turn on them with a vengeance to keep their ratings and their jobs.

1. OK then.

[LittleBlue]

2. This was a referendum on Obama and Democratic leadership in general

The American people sent a damning verdict on the country's mismanagement.

5. I disagree, this was Step 1 in "takin ar cuntry bak frum (insert racist insult)"

Step 2. You thought the Minority repukes obstructed, now they've got the Majority in the House. Nothing will ever get passed now.

Step 3. Race bating the likes you've not seen since the Reconstruction.

Step 4. Continue taking the country back.... To the 1800's in 2012 when they win with some Uber Honkey (think Mitt or Huckabee with a Palin chaser).

Obama HAD political capital back in 08, now he's got a bullseye. Here come House Panels to investigate his birth certificate, ....

7. I don't know that this will go over as well as the Republicons expect it

to.

The Republicons have major problems that they have failed to address.

They have a dying demographic. My area is ruby red. It derives 70% of its income from government sources, the many bases, fields, posts and stations of active military, military contractors and civil servants. The retirees collecting military pension, civil service pension and social security. Not to mention state and county workers and retirees.

We have very limited manufacturing. Farming is down, land has be appropriated for the military. Tourism is shot. BP did that.

They have promised all these people that they do not face cuts; they will cut future social security benefits, military benefits, welfare, medicaid, future medicare benefits.

They have promised that they will impeach Obama and take our country back to the "golden age". The country will be magically restored. Ozzie and Harriet will become the norm.

And all in two years.

We'll see.
