Actually history may just look back on the elections of 2008 as a watershed event. It put the Democrats (and mostly liberals) in complete control of the Government for everyone to see how they do. It also shows just how fragile democracy is and how one election can be very costly. The Democrats ( hard core democrats that is) are continually trying to resurrect President Bush and painting a picture that all republicans will be just as President Bush was. Well in comparison to Obama President Bush might not look so bad after all. President Obama is being shown to be a pretty good actor after all. With Reagan we had an Actor who made a great President and with Obama we have a President that's being a great Actor at being President all the while demonstrating, at our expense, just how inept he is. While the Republicans, when in power, didn't really help matters they didn't do the harm that is being done in the last two years to our country and Constitutional freedoms.
IF Democrats would or could for a moment look at the actions taken by our current leaders and instead of trying to defend them imagine that it was Republicans that did the exact same thing then they could see how dangerous our leaders are. Healthcare legislation and the way it was enacted along with the banking regulations that they have enacted which have led to banks and institutions raising fees and rates on individuals account of that legislation are not making it better and easier but harder on the middle class and families today. Once Healthcare, that was passed, kicks in then the real injustice and damage will be evident and the only reason we don't know about it now and know about the damage that is being done is that we have a National Media group that is so liberal that they stop investigating and reporting on liberal democrats and make everything look good or as good as they can.
The best proof that Democrats (today) are in trouble and messing things up without a clue about how to fix it is their continual reference and blame to President Bush. They have had two years and instead of fixing what they declare is wrong they instead force through un-constitutional legislation (without a true vote) which takes us to socialism rather than democracy.
Maybe the elections of 2008 will be a watershed event showing just how much harm can be done in an election and hopefully 2010 elections (November) will be a time that American's in large numbers show up and vote back some control into sensible peoples hands and allow some of these pending catastrophes to be rolled back or repealed.
