I Can See November

Paraphrasing a line the mainstream media lifted from Tina Fey on Saturday Night Live to denigrate Sarah Palin, "I can see November from my house!"  This November will be one of the most significant mid-term elections of my lifetime.  The Obama administration has lost much of their 2008 support as they used arm twisting and parliamentary tricks to ram through an agenda that a majority of America does not support.  Pay back day is coming.

Obama's job approval has dropped to the lowest so far at 41%.  The percentage of citizenry that believe he is doing a poor job has risen to 46%.  With negatives that high, he can do nothing to retain control of the House of Representatives after the November elections.  In the past couple weeks, Barrack has made TV appearances, trying to recover his lost reputation, but the approval rating continues to sink.  Many democratic incumbents are asking him to stay away from their area for fear that he will make bad reelection odds even worse.

While I fully expect the Republicans to win control of the House and make gains in the Senate, I don't think that means America likes Republicans.  I think we just hate them less.  After all, it took Republicans and Democrats both to run up the largest deficit in history.  In fairness, many of the problems that Obama and the democrats have exasterbated, had Republican origins.  If the Republicans would have made their case for less government in 2008, we would not be enduring the Obama administration's current direction for the country.  Whenever there is a void, something tends to fill it - Democrats were in the right place at the right time to capitalize on siezing power.

This has tuned out to be an anti-incumbent year.  Since there are more democrat incumbents, they will bear the brunt of our anger.  Last year I yearned for the resurgence of a Throw the Bums out movement in America.  That was before the Tea Party began to pick up steam.  I could not be happier with the current mood of the county.  I hope that our experiement with socialism will soon be over.
