Commentary: The End of the Obama Revolution

by John LeBoutillier

January 19, 2010

Tonight, the GOP and the Tea Party will elect conservative Republican Scott Brown by four points over yet another stupid, dumb, out-of-touch, ignorant Democrat—Curt Schilling, a Yankee fan?—to fill John F. and Teddy Kennedy’s Senate seat, which had been in the hands of the Kennedy’s since 1952.



Ironically, tomorrow—Wednesday January 20—is the first anniversary of Barack Obama’s inauguration.



So, one year to the day of the arrival in DC of The One, he will effectively be a lame duck president. His Obama Revolution will be finished. The Democratic strangle-hold on DC power will be shattered. The upcoming November mid-term elections will be a Democratic blood bath.



Obama’s first year as been a case study is mis-reading why an election was won (the economy, stupid!), followed by another mis-reading of the public mood (jobs, jobs, jobs!) and then using the “never waste a good crisis” thinking to try to install Far Left, European-style socialism as the White House political and economic agenda.



Today’s election in Massachusetts also will be the final nail in the health care coffin—with Brown winning there bringing 41 solid votes to filibuster the conference committee bill.



And with the eight months spent on health care thus a waste of time and political capital, Obama looks inept, incompetent and weak. Plus, his Sunday rescue trip to Boston will not rescue Coakley; it will cement the notion that he is ineffective, weak, a politician with nothing but celebrity status. The Boston trip will be like the Copenhagen Olympic trip: he will—again—come home empty-handed. And thus his presidency will be forever weakened by his indiscriminate spending of White House political capital.

America is bouncing from one incompetent president—George W. Bush—to another, Barack H. Obama.

 How long can a great nation survive with the two parties producing such dunderheads?

In 2012, we better get our act in gear, or else.
