So, a Republican has convincingly won Ted Kennedy’s former Senate seat. After opposing health reform. And supporting the waterboarding of terrorists. And appearing as a nude centerfold. In a state where Democrats outnumber Republicans by three to one. And where Republicans haven’t won a Senate election since 1972. After a high-profile visit by President Obama. Who won the state by 26 points last year. But who now carries no political weight in the bluest state in the country. With vicious, public recriminations starting among Democrats even before election day. Following major losses in Virginia and New Jersey.
It means that Rahm Emanuel’s “big bang” theory of legislative liberalism is the most foolish political strategy in recent memory. It means that spending political capital on health reform instead of economic recovery and growth was a dreadful error. It means that a crisis that Obama didn’t want to waste has largely been wasted.
Obama now has the highest disapproval rating in the history of Gallup polling for a president entering his second year in office. He has been handed a series of political humiliations. If he takes all of this as motivation to “stay the course,” the humiliations have only begun.

Maybe someone should send them an Obama Bingo Card.
Might give them some ideas for the speech.

Obozo is batting 0 for 4. How soon before he is benched by his own party?
Thanks for suggesting the Kuttner article. An excellent piece and the comments (mostly liberals I am sure) were very interesting.
Obama is losing his base and energizing his opposition and that is a recipe for disaster..... he is becoming the rat version of Bush and the damage will heavily impact not just him but his party.
I hope the GOP does not squander their good fortune (again).
That presumes it was ever a choice they could make. They knew full well how to destroy the economy by putting together this nonsense. But healing a broken economy? Completely clueless.
I would be stunned if Obama fires Emanuel. The Chicago Machine created Obama. They own him. He can’t fire Emanuel.
Well, Teddy got elected even though he killed a woman.
Not to worry. Zero’s TelePrompTer will come up with an appropriate speech. Speech writers are so last century.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I’m afraid we’re about to witness an unsightly deluge of topless Congressbeasties. You should sequester any small children, and may wish to avert your eyes, lest they be forever damned.
” I think we can hear the lamentations of their women. ‘
Sounds like flying ashtrays to me!
did you see the “women” at the lesbian bar where MSNBC was bradcasting from?? It was a Pat Convention.
Wow, that’s so harsh it sounds like I could’ve written it.
I thought the Clintons were good at creating Republican voters, but Obama puts them to shame.
“I think we can hear the lamentations of their women. That horrible screetching noise... aaaaaggghhh my ears!”
It’s music to mine. ;O)
Prepare to get donkey-punched on a regular basis from here on out.
