Obama is already leaving the democrats in a far worse condition than Jimmy Carter ever imagined.  Many of the “blue dog democrats” are getting cold feet because of the pressure from grass roots democrats who do not support socialized health care.  Ben Stein wrote in an editorial that Obama is pushing so quickly because he is seeing his support fading quickly.

The blue dog democrats are in damage control mode.  They know that those who are up for re-election in the next 2 years are in big trouble.  The economy hasn’t recovered.  To recoup the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act waste, taxes will have to be raised exponentially.  Obama’s approval ratings continue to slip, and even the TV networks are having a tough time making him appear sensible.

It took 12 years after Carter before the democrats got another chance at the Whitehouse.  How long will it take to recover this time?  Does Obama have a chance at re-election?

One would certainly hope not!

A SHORT STORY
A woman in a hot-air balloon realized she was lost. She
lowered her altitude and spotted a man in a boat below. She
shouted to him, “Excuse me, can you help me? I promised
a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don’t know
where I am.”

The man consulted his portable GPS and replied, “You’re
in a hot air balloon, approximately 30 feet above a ground
elevation of 2,346 feet above sea level. You are at 31
degrees, 14.97 minutes north latitude and 100 degrees, 49.09
minutes west longitude.”

She rolled her eyes and said, “You must be a Republican.”
“I am,” replied the man. “How did you know?”
“Well,” answered the balloonist, “everything you told me is
technically correct. But I have no idea what to do with your
information, and I’m still lost. Frankly, you’ve not
been much help to me.”

The man smiled and responded, “You must be an Obama Democrat.”
“I am,” replied the balloonist. “How did you know?”
“Well,” said the man, “you don’t know where you are or
where you are going. You’ve risen to where you are, due
to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise you have
no idea how to keep, and you expect me to
solve your problem.  You’re in exactly the same
position you were in before we met, but somehow, now
it’s my fault.”
