We mused in a Jan/19 sketch that Americas are generous with their leaders. They will forgive simple gaffs - 57 states, the "Austrian" language; they will even forgive outright lies - jobs "saved or created," Muslims inventing both the printing press and the Renaissance, "no more lobbyists in government," guaranteed transparency, Iran in compliance with the UN summit, the lie of airing the healthcare debate on C-SPAN, the phony deadlines on Gitmo, BO’s bribing of senators with taxpayers funds, making a lie of his promises to the contrary. Still, many folk simply looked the other way.
In that same sketch we continued: Americans will not forgive however Obama’s attempt to steam-roll their liberties, that drastic change in life style - the major insertion of government control of their lives, BO’s plans to remake the US using health, education and energy as vehicles - the unprecedented federal intrusion into American industry and commerce. That is something you just do not try on Americans. It will not work.
We predicted that Obama’s election would radically change the nature of the Democratic party.
We all know what happened. An element in control of the national party but never at the helm, gained the helm; the agent was Obama. Its agenda was/is radical. BO’s half color and a sick economy provided the propellent. Now that most Americans who pulled the trigger understand the implications of that foolishness, never again. The party will encounter reality Nov/3.
If the Democratic party intends to survive, it must obviously shed its radical ways. Look for such a change over the near term.
