Does Obama Get It?

It started in 2009. Elections in Virginia and New Jersey led the way. A special election to fill the vacant US Senate seat of the late Teddy Kennedy was held in early 2010.

Scott Brown, a Republican, won the special . This was a shock to many liberals and lefties. Was nothing political sacred?? How could it happen?

There were other warning signs to the politicians in DC. The Tea Party movement sprang up overnight and attracted many Americans turned off by the excessive and reckless federal spending, by the constant move to the political left, by the unwanted and unnecessay Health Care monstrosity, and by the deafness of many of our elected officials.

Yet despite the election results and numerous polls showing a majority of Americans fed up with the federal government - its spending habits, its inability to control the budget, its waste of taxpayer money, the bailouts of banks, auto makers, and unions - President Obama insisted the American people did not understand. The problem, Obama and others said, was the message was not clear or delivered properly.

Huh?

I think the American people understand exactly what is going on in Washington. That is why the Nov 2 election results brought real change. The people know. And they do not care for the shift to the Left. That is not the change most Americans wanted.

Even after the Democrats lost 60+ seats and control of the US House Obama still does not get it. The Democrats lost 6 or more seats in the US Senate and have 23 Senate seats up in 2012.

Maybe Obama will get it after the next election.
