Is Obama already a lame-duck president, only two years into his first (and likely only) term?
Probably not the change he hoped for.
Dem lame-duck agenda shrinking fast after Election Day 'shellacking'
By Alexander Bolton - 11/08/10 05:00 AM ET
Democratic allies are not optimistic about their legislative priorities getting done in the lame-duck session after Democratic candidates got pummeled on Election Day.
Senate Democrats had discussed as many as 20 bills up for consideration during the lame-duck session, the period between the Nov. 2 election and Christmas.
In the wake of a midterm election that President Obama called a shellacking of his party, Democratic insiders question if anything more than a stopgap spending measure and temporary extension of Bush-era tax cuts can pass.
Im very pessimistic well get much done, said a labor official familiar with lame-duck negotiations. Were focused on extending unemployment benefits and middle-class tax cuts.
Republicans will try to put off everything so they can claim credit for anything that passes at the beginning of the new Congress, said the source.
I expect a short-term continuing resolution into the new year, the source said, in reference to a temporary funding measure to keep the federal government in operation.
Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) and other GOP leaders have made clear that theyre in no mood to help advance the Democratic legislative agenda...
I've heard it said that the historic can of whup-ass known as last tuesday's election, was the American public loudly and defiantly saying NO to the authoritarian socialist agenda that the current administration appears to be pushing.
Did I hear wrong?

Until the Senate and White House are taken back,the Authoritarian Socialists still control most of our Government. This fight is hardly over.

The dems lost midterms for the same reason McCain lost in 2008. Reps crashed and burned the economy and the dems haven't fixed it fast enough.
They will if the economy doesn't improve and they can blame it on the Dems.The dems lost midterms for the same reason McCain lost in 2008. Reps crashed and burned the economy and the dems haven't fixed it fast enough.
The Dems got their asses kicked in the mid-terms because America is sick and tired of their bullshit. Watch for more Democrats to hit the road come 2012. Let me go ahead and tell you so it don't come at you like a surprise... In 2012 a Republican President will be elected and the Republicans will have control over both houses of Congress and it will be four more years of listening to Democrats whine and cry because they can't do shit about it.
then you are delusionalI like to think that America always votes no to authoritarian socialism.
.Did America say NO! to authoritarian socialism?.
Do I still go to prison if I don't pay taxes to support collective programs I've no wish to see put into effect, and I'm not rich enough to buy immunity?
If the answer to my question is 'yes', the answer to your question is 'no'.
Really?
So you don't think Obamacare had anything at all to do with it?
