There is no way that Obama can be trusted to handle the problems this country is facing. He will make them worse as is evidenced by Obamacare, DADT, financial reform bill, his amnesty position, his cap and trade position, etc.

START is a flawed treaty.

When has it become acceptable for second and third rate "deals" to be OK?

There is your 1924 Nation wide change & 1948 Congress change records.

New bill coming up has record breaking PORK. $$$ 8 billion in PORK...

Year senator Clinton & senator barry was in Senate, They were # 1 and # 2 in Pork. While barry was voting "present" much of the time.

Accept it the Dems lost the election by this overwhelming margin and now this is just sour grapes. Other polls show that Obama's approval rating is below 40% and around 70% want the Healthcare debacle either changed or rescinded. Now the Dems need to listen to the people's mandate and Manup and let the Republicans get to the business of changing this fouled up Obamination before we sink even further into the abyss of deficit spending created by the so called Progressives (Recessives.)

to stick their heads in the trough along side the Progressives. And, again the nation suffers.

FYI . . . Seriously?! Wake-up to reality. Dems are the masters at gerrymandering. Georgie Soros, the biggest buffoon in America, owns more propaganda outlets than the combined Republican machinery.

You may be ignorant, but don't be stupid. Ignorance is forgiveable, stupidity is not.

to think you can blatantly discount the vote and voice of millions of Americans based on one "poll". Who conducted your poll, the Huffington Post? Politico? Did Bill Ayers conduct the survey based on handpicked participants?

You are so jaded it's absurd. Just what election did you actually watch play out during the mid-term? The route Republicans gave Dems is the equivalent of a 50-3 football score. It was that bad and that demoralizing.

But to say, the result was "no mandate" requires the willing suspension of disbelief. If "We the People" were enthralled with progressive Dems then why did so many Dems get the boot?

You Washington pundits still just don't it. Which tells me your either ignorant, arrogant, or insane. Possibly your all three.

One of the first steps to recovery is an admission that you have a problem. Progressives have a problem. The are out of touch with the electorate. Your lack of understanding, as evidenced by your trite article, only support my assertion.

Of course not. They can steal elections and gerrymander districts. They can own the propaganda outlets and spread lies and disinformation and that will win them seats but never the hearts of real Americans.

Republicans and their extreme anti-government, anti-tax, anti-immigrant, and radical Christianist ideology have destroyed America. Reagan and his nut-job supporters started the destruction in California and it spread to the rest of the USA. Never trust a Republican. Fear, Hatred, Distortion, Distraction and Division is all they have to offer.
