message from the voters to the Democrats, especially the president, that even lifelong Dems are balking at the

To prove he’s determined to stick to his plans, including nationalizing student loans, “card check,” cap and trade
and immigration reform are also slated to be pushed by this administration. All are unpopular. The voters are ABC
disturbed by the backroom deals to special interests, the disregard for the public’s outrage, the marginalization of
dissenters like the tea party movement. ACORN

All of this has lead to an anti-incumbent voter rebellion which resulted in yesterday’s Bay State thumping, just as it Afghanistan
did in New Jersey and Virginia last November. The Democrats tried to rationalize away those defeats last year. The Baseball
question is, will they do that again? Many long-term Democrat legislators are feeling the ground shifting beneath their
feet as even safe Dems are no longer secure. The leadership of the party is putting on a brave face, saying they plan Books and Literature
to plow ahead with Obamacare.  But many of the rank and file who voted for the earlier bills may bail on it now,

To make matters worse, Obama’s once vaunted popularity is now tarnished. His apologists may blame it on Exclusives
Republicans. But the fact is, people are abandoning their parties on both sides to become Independents. And every
politician knows you need the independents to win.  And Independents are solidly against Obama now. Featured Story

To add to his woes, the TV comics, who were once loath to mock him, are now turning their barbs his way. The Film
media, which was solidly sycophantic at the start of this year, are now questioning his moves and even his Fox News
credibility. When the press lionizes someone you can bet that they will tear him down with almost equal zeal once
the honeymoon ends.   Obama has worn out his welcome faster than any president of the modern era. As the George W. Bush
Guardian quipped: “Even Charles Manson could beat him.”

When Obama was elected some people joked “Welcome back, Carter.”  That may have been an insult to Carter.

Barry may not do it consciously, or perhaps someone trained him to do it, in the misguided thought that it Obama
would make him look "strong" or authoritative", whatever. I don't know why he does it, but it's a crazy thing for
him to do, since all it does is bring up comparisons to Mussolini. Open Threads

“A year ago the country rallied behind a new president who promised to end the pendulum-like swings, who

Obama has lived up to his promise. He has created a thoughtful, pragmatic administration marked by a culture Patterico’s Pontifications
of honest and vigorous debate….If the evidence leads him in a direction he finds uncomfortable he will still follow
the evidence. He is beholden to no ideological camp… The country is now split on Obama because he is PoliGazette

These people may not give up easy, but I think the racket is finally getting loud enough that the states are

alone. MO's house just passed a non-binding resolution to recommend to the state's Federal legislative caucus
that they vote no on health care. AZ has a referendum on tap that would allow the voters of the state to vote on
whether or not they want to adopt any Federal reform legislation. KS has a resolution to confirm the 10th
Amendment and state's rights in committee and on the they day it was debated, there was a rally with a fairly
impressive crowd despite it being a work day.

How much teeth they ultimately decide to give those things.
