This is a resounding rejection of Obama. Remember Obama said this election was about HIS POLICIES.
Well, the American people heard that loud and clear and said they are SICK of Obama and the Democrats policies.
It's time for a real change ladies and gentlemen. Not more of the same.
That means EVERY ONE OF US will have to hold the Republicans feet to the fire or they will just squish their way through two years hoping the press won't be mean to them. We have to write, email and shout at them to stand up to Obama. They won't do it, unless we make them.
Lot's of red doesn't mean lot's of Tea Party.
Don't make the mistake of joining either side in figuring out if it's an idictment of Obama, or an indictment of congress. That is strategist narrative put out for electioneering purposes.
What the Republicans should do...is send sensable legislation that creates middle class jobs to Obama's desk.
What Obama should do is sign it, not veto it.
The worst that could happen is Republicans sending all sorts of legislation about abortion, contraception, and gay marriage to the white house.
Send legislation that reduces taxes, and creates a more favorable business climate to unleash all that capital just waiting for a good investment IN America. and creates MIDDLE CLASS jobs, not McJobs
I love it when people wax on, on what "should" happen.
It's always a "what if" world of unicorn's farting rainbows and utopia being the natural turnout.
Now HERE is what is REALLY GOING TO HAPPEN:
Obama is going to try to push his radical agenda via the executive pen.
The liberal press is going to shriek about starving children and how the government will "pay for any tax cuts" and all the usual tripe about tax cuts for the rich blah blah blah.
The Republicans will be the usual spineless squishes they are and do NOTHING in fear of angering people and ruining the chances of a liberal/moderate like Romney running in 2016.
Meanwhile the average voter like you and me is going to have to make the Republican's lives MISERABLE with emails, letters and phone calls demanding they do something. Otherwise, the won't do a damn thing.
Now THAT's reality.
So why did I vote Republican?
Because the other reality, voting Democrat, means idiots like Pelosi wanting to pass 2,000 page healthcare bills so we can find out what's in it.
Gridlock is not bad. Gridlock is good!
When those idiots are gridlocked the rest of the country can get back to business.
