With a huge majority in congress, a filibuster proof senate and arguably the most progressive liberal president this country has ever known, who would've thought that virtually none of the "lofty" new progressive goals would have been met a year into this ultra-left federal government. Let's recap, shall we? First it was the worldwide apology tour, then the unpopular and ineffective stimulus, then the unconstitutional usurpation of two, major private industries by the feds, then Rick Santelli and the Tea Partiers, then the beer summit, then the town halls, then Van Jones, then the Virginia and NJ elections, then Ted Kennedy, then the troop dithering, then the cap-and-trade-preventing climategate, then the ratings of Fox News, then the BVD bomber and the amazing lack of interrogation, then the KSM/NYC debacle, then the epidemic called the retiring dem, then CSPAN-gate and the other obvious campaign lies, then Scott Brown, then the unprecedented and unsustainable massive budget proposal, then the multi-trillion dollar debt ceiling limit raise, and throughout it all, a surreal, arrogant push for a Federal government takeover of health care in spite of the will of the American people and, more importantly, the Constitution. All of this, combined with 10% unemployment and about a trillion other things might just be why Obama's approval rating is now at 44. But the problems just keep stacking up for dems. The death of John Murtha will make it much more difficult for progressives to try to resurrect the dead health rationing bill and push it through congress, regardless of when a special election is held.
I'm not sure what the democrats did in their previous lives to deserve this, but let's hope they do it again.
