Trying Gitmo detainees in civilian courts... Cramming Obamacare down our throats... Bending over backwards to appease the Muslim community... bowing to Kings... bailing out GM... implementing socialist policy at breakneck speed... refusing to budge on extending the Bush tax cuts... TSA pat-downs and full body scans.... all while the American public screamed NO! All against the wishes and will of the vast majority of the public! And with the arrogance and condescension only a Harvard liberal elite could have. Obama has stubbornly and defiantly refused to listen to the people, even in the wake of losing the House of Representatives, even while watching his poll numbers go down faster than Britney Spears on her 4th honeymoon. Clearly, this president doesn't get it! He is so far out of touch with mainstream America, it's doubtful he will ever understand just how far out there he really is.
This man, who has never run so much as a candy store in his life, is currently finding himself in way over his head, and ineffective as both the leader of the nation, and the leader of the free world. He was a great campaigner, but he simply lacks the ability to govern, and it's beginning to show, and show badly. After spending trillions to try and bail the economy out, that has been a dismal failure, nothing to show for it, no promise of new jobs, just the sheepish admission there was never any such thing as a "shovel ready job!" He has more "czars" in the White House than a Romanov Wedding, and still, remains feckless and frozen, indecisive and unable to manage the tenuous circumstances of the assorted coalitions who put him into power.
The Democrats, seem to be equally clueless. Just take a look at this board, the smug arrogant comments continue to propagate and the attitude seems to almost be a 'double-down' of the attitude which got them into this mess to begin with. Even after losing in the midterms by HISTORIC margins, the likes of which haven't been seen since Reconstruction, the Democrats continue the same mantra, the same message, the same smears, lies, and distortions. The same attacks of the same suspects... not a lick of change in tone, if anything, it has become more shrill, more intense, and more pronounced. Like their president, they seem to be convinced they are right, and the public just hasn't heard the message articulated properly. See, we're all stupid people who lack the intellectual curiosity and wisdom to know what's best for us. If only they could silence Glenn Beck, whom they've now resorted to comparing with Hitler (no joking), and Sarah Palin, who can post a single sentence on her Facebook page, and have the liberal media humming for a week about it... her daughter appears on Dancing with the Stars, and the pinheads shoot their damn TV! Clearly, these people just don't get it!
Then we get to the Establishment Republicans... do they even get it? When I hear idiots like Spencer Bachus saying the Tea Party cost republicans the Senate, I have to wonder! Mr. Bachus, if it weren't for the Tea Party, you wouldn't have won the HOUSE! The mid-term tsunami was not some glorious mandate for Republican policies! It was a direct repudiation of status quot policy from both the left and right, and a call... a SCREAMING call, for smaller limited government and less spending! Right off the bat, we get Mitch McConnell trying to spin earmarks into something they just can't part with.... Mr. McConnell, don't you get it? The people spoke rather loudly, and you of all people, should have understood their message. If not, you can certainly be replaced like many other RINOs were this year. This is not some confused and muddled faction who doesn't really know what they want, and the beltway crowd needs to try to grasp that, before they are ALL sent packing. Oh yes, it can and will happen if the people are not heard, and so far, it seems very few in Washington, on either side, are actually GETTING IT!
