It seems that even the Democrats can see November coming: nothing but a headlong running rush into total election meltdown. Whatever they've tried in the past two years has led to rampant unemployment, stagnant wages among those still lucky enough to have a job and a general malaise that makes one yearn for the good karma of the Carter years.
Well, not really.
President Obama has passed the core of his agenda, but now he's lost control of his message. He can't seem to get things back to where they were before he was sworn in. And now he realizes its a hell of a lot easier to throw stones at the people in power than in is to be the MAN in power.
It is ludicrous in the extreme for him to blame Republicans for a sick economy that he has only made worse by flushing billions down the sewers in a Stimulus Package that anyone with any pretense of objectivity has condemned as a failure. "When it comes to just about everything we've done to strengthen the middle class and rebuild our economy, almost every Republican in Congress said no." Nothing could be a greater contradiction, a greater misstatement than that. As long as he continues along that trajectory, Democratic hopes for at least surviving November will lay in a smoking crater of Obama's making.
