The journalists at
Politico are usually fairly supportive of the President, so when they run
this opinion piece by Jeremy Lott you know they have become disillusioned. Lott says of Obama's efforts at sweeping change:
So far, he’s failing miserably. (snip) The question that most political handicappers are considering right now is not “Will Republicans make gains at the midterm elections?” but “How large will those gains be?”
And then Lott concludes:
What all this means is, barring some unforeseeable world event, Obama’s will probably not be a historic presidency. He will have some successes and a lot of failures. His opposition won’t roll over, and his party will refuse to go along with his more costly, and thus risky, schemes. He won’t coast to reelection.
Do you remember how people were saying the Republicans were destroyed only six months ago? A week is forever in politics.
