It’s really got to be tough being an Obamaton these days. I mean, it’s gotten to the point where even I almost feel sorry for them – with emphasis on the “almost”.
Think about it: Barely a year ago today, this nation was flooded with an enormous army of cocksure, self-absorbed, unthinking, obnoxious leftists who really believed they were about to embark upon a glorious, permanent era of socialist/fascist governance in the United States. Coming off the near-landslide electoral victories of November, 2008, they were about to install the first true radical leftist in the White House, a young, charismatic and energetic true believer who would have huge majorities in both houses of congress to work with to enact socialist/fascist policies related to everything from healthcare to global warming to nationalization of major industries, to control of content over the airwaves and Internet. The hated Republicans were in utter, dispirited disarray, marginalized to the point of irrelevance and teetering on the brink of political extinction.
Those were heady days for the Obamaton Nation, and they were not shy about letting everyone around them know about it.
While the incoming President went around offering false talk about how he was planning to unify the nation behind a set of moderate, bipartisan policies, the minions of the Obamaton Army gave the truth away, bragging about all the leftwing policies their New Messiah would pursue on their behalf, and picking fights, both literal and verbal, with anyone who dared disagree. Anyone who questioned the One’s agenda was derided in print, over the airwaves, or on the Internet as stupid, rednecks, or most commonly, racists. After all, according to the nitwittery that dominates the “thought” processes of the Obamaton Army, the only possible reason anyone could be opposed to the utter destruction of the U.S. economy, the massive new tax on utility bills represented by Obama’s cap and trade fiasco, and the crippling of the finest healthcare system in the world must be racism.
Twelve months later, here is the status of what the Obamaton Army and their benefactors in Washington have wrought:
· Their completely phony and failed $787 billion “stimulus” bill has by all reliable reports yet to produce a single permanent job anywhere in the country;
· Their hair-brained scheme to create a “cap and trade” system to regulate carbon output lies dead in the water;
· Their mindless obsession with nationalizing the nation’s healthcare system by hook or crook (mostly by crook) is hanging by a thread in the wake of Tuesday’s senate election in Massachusetts;
· They have managed to lose governorships in Virginia, a state President Obama won easily in 2008, and in the traditionally Democrat-dominated state of New Jersey;
· They have seen 17 incumbent Democrat members of congress read the tea leaves and initial polling data on their re-election campaigns, and announce their retirement rather than face almost certain defeat the polls next November;
· They see their Senate Majority Leader, Dingy Harry Reid, trailing potential opponents by double-digits in recent polls;
· The steadily rising unpopularity of the Obama healthcare destruction plan, and the socialist/fascist Obama agenda in general has directly caused the loss of even the U.S. senate seat in Massachusetts held for 46 years by Ted Kennedy.
Meanwhile, their hero, the One himself, the New Messiah who was going to transform the nation’s politics and bring forth a permanent leftist majority, has lost his mojo. His speeches have become rote and mundane, no longer inspiring an increasingly skeptical public that is rapidly tiring of the false rhetoric and broken campaign promises of transparency, moderation and bipartisanship. The President has begun to receive semi-tough questions even from the lapdog leftist news media, and as a result has refused to hold a press conference since last July. His public approval ratings, which sat near 70% on his inauguration day, have now fallen below 50%, with no hope in sight of halting the decline.
In the wake of the loss of the Massachusetts Senate seat to a hated Republican, the Obamaton Army now finds itself lacking the filibuster-proof majority it had enjoyed in that body since the ACORN/Democrat Party organized crime ring managed to steal the Minnesota seat for bad comedian Al Franken. This places the socialist takeover and destruction of the nation’s healthcare system at risk, and leaves the Obamaton Army with a stark and distasteful choice. They can either force the bill to the President’s desk via procedural bullying, bribery and chicanery, thus ensuring a massive electoral disaster for the Democrat Party in November of this year, or they can allow the atrocity to die, thus rendering the New Messiah a failed, lame duck President barely a year into his first term in office.
It’s a bad and distasteful choice, but one that the smarmy Obamaton Army richly deserves. No political group in history has gone so far out of its way to engender so much bad will from the public as these folks have for the last year. They asked for this fight, and they are getting it.
There is still justice in the liberal zoo after all.
