The largest defeat in the history of mid-terms

[Sparko55]

58. A needless loss in 2010 by Dems and Obama

As Obama said; we got shellacked. Indeed. Tea Party aside much can be laid at Obama's feet. Worst meltdown of the economy in 80 years and crickets from DOJ on Wall Street corruption. The country didn't want Obama's platitudes of "we've got to look ahead ". The country had not only a broken leg and back but soul. And, unfortunately Obama just couldn't bring himself and his Ivy league cabinet to go after Ivy league alumni on Wall St.. the country knew first you have to fix the broken back and legs; then you can move on.

After 2010, in the cold Wisconsin winter that followed with up to 125,000 protestors on the Capitol in Madison, the protestors reminded Obama of his promise to walk the line if union jobs were at stake.. Again, crickets. That was remembered in Wisconsin, I lived there then and was there at the start of the protests against Walker and throughout the weeks and 17 day occupation of the state Capitol. The signs on the square said it all especially "Barry, we've got you a pair of good walking shoes".

That's all past. Let's hope the Dems don't forget those lessons. Sometimes to move ahead, you need a head.
