The Big Bad Wolf.
I actually think Obama and incumbent Representatives from either party should be very nervous. I mean, what has either party done regarding jobs? Without significant job, gains the the economic conditions for Main Street America just plain don't happen.
The GOP (including the TP), Dems and Congress in general have record low approval ratings and as this economy flounders, it's going to get worse for Obama, the GOP (including the TP) and the Dems.
Nervous? Sure.
In a state of borderline retreat?
No..
The Tea Party wants a fight..give them a fight.
Stop the compromising.
