When the President lands tonight at Andrews AFB after his week long effort to diffuse the election, what did he accomplish? In spite of dragging a herd of American CEOs along with him to India, there was no agreement in Mumbai. He asked the China to stop manipulating their currency. They didn't listen. Both Korea and Germany said they think our economic policies are insane. Good times.
This is getting to be an administration in free fall. There is very little in the way of results and less in terms of even projecting bold leadership. With the Reps set to take over the House you can forget any action on gays in the military or any other policy loved by the left. You might think this would present an opening for a Blue Dog Democrat to take on Obama from the right (or what passes for the right in the Democratic Party), I don't think so. The left is more pissed about the lost opportunity that is Obama than anyone else. Some obscure member of the House with just enough funding and credibility to do damage will soon emerge. When that happens and even more weakened President Obama will limp toward the general and be defeated by a Republican.
In the end, we will never be lucky enough to see Sarah Palin as the Republican nominee. She is just too much of a cartoon character. While in the Alaskan wilderness she utters one line in her new reality show that I think best sums her up: "Why would I wanna be in some political room somewhere when I could be here?" Some "political room?" You mean the state capitol or a city hall or the Pentagon? In the end, even The Tea Party will realize she has no clue. Mitt Romney, a much more appealing candidate will likely be the nominee. If things continue as they are (what did Jimmy Carter say? miasma? I don't think he ever actually said it but he owns it) were looking at a one term president.
