That's an excellent analysis, and the reason why you need to watch the
power of the govt. It's less a corrupt nature of individuals and more
just the nature of the beast.

I don't think I ever enjoyed watching MSNBC as much as I did last

Not so fast. Clinton's first two years were rejected by the voters
and he was able to recover, so don't count Obama out just yet,

However, Obama's agenda is dead. I can't imagine that the Democrats
are stupid enough to try and push the health care bill through.
They're going to take more losses in November. If they push on health
care the losses could be catastrophic.

Obviously cap and tax is not going to pass and neither is the union
card check bill. Ultimately, Obama will have accomplished nothing.

Bush had eight years to turn a majority of Americans against the
Republican Party. Obama has done that to the Democrats in one year.

Clinton took over as the economy was rising. Obama inherited a bad economy
under his leadership it has gotten much worse. Clinton initially cut
spending Obama has increased spending.
