While I hold out great hope that tomorrow will see an end to the Democratic Majority that has enabled this president to effectively cripple this country in every way possible, I also think that a Republican Majority in the Congress will do nothing more than lock this country in the state that it is now for the next 2 years. Nothing is going to get done. There is gong to be as much bipartisan cooperation the day after tomorrow as there is now.
I do not feel that, even though these politicians are flipsides of the same coin, there will be anything other than bitter contention the likes of which have yet to be seen from a sitting president. Lately, on the campaign trail , Obama has shown how petulant a character he possesses. He has been clipped and frustrated and agitated when faced with anyone who does not immediately glom onto his ideals. Imagine if he is faced with a Congress whose ends are the antithesis of his own. A Congress put there for no other reason than to thwart his attempts at further damage and try to repair the damage he has done.
We will see the real Obama in 48 hours. We will see if he has the courage of his convictions or if they are only convictions when he can rule unchallenged. We will see if he spouts the usual rhetoric as he and Pelosi did prior to his Coronation in 2008 and then proceeds to Veto every Bill that comes across his desk because it came from a Republican Majority. We will see if he cooperates with efforts to repeal health care and put a stop to outrageous spending and then proceed to take credit if the country does make any real progress in the next 2 years.
We will see.
