He says we're just tired and frustrated with the slowness of his recovery, and backing off of his policies is not going to happen.

But I'm particularly happy about the net gain in Republican governors. As long as Obama is president and has veto power, Obamacare can't be repealed legislatively. But states can sue and send this abomination to the Supreme Court where it can be overturned by the slim majority of judges who still use the U.S. Constitution to determine a law's constitutionality. I'm also guardedly optimistic that the next Speaker of the House has returned to basic conservative principles. The next two years will provide tremendous opportunity for some of the "stars" who just got elected (Rubio in Florida) to help educate the public. There are some very articulate conservative legislators heading for Washington in January. Trust the mainstream media to misrepresent them, but we still have a tremendous assortment of talented t.v., radio and web site hosts to highlight their hypocrisy.

And so the next step will be trying to excise the tumor itself, followed by all the work necessary for rehabilitation of the damage done, and lifestyle changes (to beat the analogy to death) to avoid recurrence.<br /><br />So, is it really a cause for joy to think "things are terrible, but at least they may not get a lot worse in the next two years"?

I still fear that becoming a EU is still in our future, and California is our Greece. Jerry Brown won, and Barbara (I worked hard for that) Boxer retains her seat. They even voted to keep their "global warming" job-kill law.<br /><br />This proves the prediction I made 25 years ago that we were near the point where those who depend upon government largesse in some form (state employee, student, welfare recipient, medicare/medicaid, social security, crony capitalists) would soon outnumber the productive citizens, and there is no way a "democracy" could survive that. It's only a matter of time before California asks the rest of us (or Communist China really) to be their Germany.<br /><br />If this trend is going to be reversed, we still have a lot of work to do. I hope that this time, the GOP really is the "party of NO".John the Econnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8993108951931633758.post-23814448749011887672010-11-03T01:08:14.620-05:002010-11-03T01:08:14.620-05:00I am going to sleep a very, very happy man after t...I am going to sleep a very, very happy man after the Obama's defeat in 2012.Philipnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8993108951931633758.post-54195222123752430692010-11-03T00:09:39.570-05:002010-11-03T00:09:39.570-05:00I am going to sleep a very, very happy man tonight...I am going to sleep a very, very happy man tonight.
