Obama was elected with a narrow margin by people who expect him to pay for their gas, buy them cars, buy them houses, get them promoted at MacDonald's, make them one hundred percent financially whole while on unemployment, etc. Obama's purposely vague campaign relied on each voter to project on him their individual aspirations and dreams. These voters expect him to deliver. I suspect even the liberal Obama is surprised by the nature of these personal pleadings and in his quite moments knows he will not be able to deliver on these infinite, unknown expectations his campaign strategy allowed to be created.
America is moving to the left, but it is not left yet. Obama's nominations of Daschle, Geithner, Richardson, Holder, Browner, Ogden, Kagan, some appointed and some not, some known and some soon to become known by their future dangerous actions will turn the middle voter against the radical elements of the Obama administration. America did not vote for socialism and the dismantling of our culture and our constitution. They voted against George Bush. -- "God punishes us when he answers our prayers". America will not like what they get when they get it.
The stimulus bill will fail to improve unemployment and the dark cloud of future inflation will be visible and the Obama administration will fail in its first term. The loyal opposition should continue to provide more viable alternatives and more time for each liberal initiative to be examined as they are pushed by administration and the Pelosi/Reid congress. What do we call this now, transparency?
The disenfranchised voters looking for an Obama handout will not turn out in the next election. They were voting for change and they got it -- $13.00 a week from the stimulus bill is the change they got. In the midterm elections enlightened voters in the middle not looking for a handout, those watching the results of the first two years will understand that Pelosi, Reid, Leahy, Obey, Rangel, et al do not represent the middle. And though the voters may not have direct influence to rid the congress of these people they will go out of their way to insure they don't send them allies. They will start the move to middle by electing conservatives. Obama will be taken care of in 2012.
I have seen the future and it works out relatively well if conservatives keep up the pressure and keep up the spotlight on the liberals. --- Well, that is, everything is OK except the more dire and uncontrolled international scene.
