A
summation of John Podhoretz’s article “ Obama’s costly overreach–to the
Democrats.
Barack
Obama will leave the democratic party in shambles. He was a political genius in
getting himself elected, but for his party he’s been an unmitigated disaster.
Since January 20, 2009 more than 1,110
Democratic Federal and State elected officials have lost their jobs to
Republicans. Democrats controlled 62 of the 99 legislative chambers in 2009. Republicans
now controlled 68. Democrats controlled 31 Governors and now hold just 17. He saw his election as an endorsement of a highly
progressive agenda, which he forced through “too much, too fast, two soon”
which include Obamacare, massive bailouts and stimulus spending, new taxes, and
the heavy business regulation(s). Democrats
will weep when Obama leaves office, but the truth is there hero presided over “the collapse of the Democratic Party”.

These things happen during Obama’s tenure
The Wall
Street Journal
More people in their 40s and older are moving
in with their aging parents for financial reasons. In California adults ages 50
to 65 living with their parents rose 68% between 2006 and 2012, and data across
the nation shows a similar trend. How sad.

From the
U. S. Elections Project
About 100 million eligible voters did not cast
a ballot in this year’s presidential election. About 132 million did vote – by
percentage, the lowest turnout since 1996.
Maybe
this is a good thing, when you consider 97% of the people don’t know what’s
going on, don’t know who the candidates are, especially the local ones – so if
you know what’s going on, the question to ask "yourself is why should the people
who don’t know what’s going on, why should they vote?"
