Well that was a buttkicking. Perhaps this will liberate the Dems to quit trying to play nice with people that don't want them to succeed. Because now if the Republicans stick together they can block most legislation they don't like.

And if there's one thing that Republicans do well, it's stick together.

On the other hand I still think that it is very early-too early to say that Obama is on his way to being a one term Pres. But this is definitely like a bad performance review before the final end of year review. The President must take heed and course correct.


"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives."
Winter is Coming

Now this is the Law of the Jungleā€”as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
