When the Democrats lose as badly as predicted next Tuesday, we'll have a commentator respond to the president's statement by paraphrasing it thus: "Well, it would appear that the president and his party will be legislatively sitting in the back." If there is a reaction of that statement being racist, then the original statement by the president must be equally so. If there is no reaction, then maybe the press has grown up a little bit.

I don't think Obama is a racist. He is just an awful President is all. Which is a lot more important than whether he dislikes any group of people.

The narrative during last August was the GOP was supposed to sweep into the Senate and House, taking over both easily. Yet the GOP has managed to definitively lose control of the Senate due to the more extreme Tea Party candidates (defeating the moderate GOP candidate) turning voters back to the Dems (less than 10% chance of winning the Senate now). And in the House, instead of winning 40-50 excess seats easily in a "tsunami", the GOP will probably only barely get the minimal 20 -30 seats (they will be in control). That's nothing. That's what the opposite party normally gets in every first midterm election post-presidential election. The other thing is that the House has never turned without the Senate. Appears it could happen this year. We'll see, but I think you'd better look at some polling numbers, Joey, rather than reading right wing web blogs filled with hope.

Yikes. It should have been far larger, according to the freaks at the town halls a year ago August.

 The GOP can't even take over the Senate? (that has never happened before, that a party retakes the House but can't retake the Senate, too) Can only get 50-ish seats in the House? Don't forget that an abnormally large number of House seats when to the Dems last time, those seats should easily convert back to their normal GOP - but they are not. Last year it was expected the GOP should retake the Senate, and dominate in the House. That doesn't appear ready to happen. The "normal" is to readily kick ass the first midterm after a polarizing presidential election. The House/Senate usually go the way opposite the winning Presidential party. If this plays out with no Senate win and a bare squeek win in the House, the GOP better realize they have long-term party problems, and they'd better decide what they represent, or they will be in the political wilderness for some years.

But it appears the GOP has lost the Senate. It looks like they will barely get the House at this point. Now obviously that's just what the "pundits and polls" are saying today - it could obviously go the other way (GOP gets the Senate, too, and alot more seats in the House). But if the GOP can't retake the Senate? And barely can take the House? Historically the opposite party has never won the House and failed to win the Senate. That's not a victory for the Dems as much as it is a tidal wave of loss for the GOP. This should be a huge "gimme" of seats to the GOP - if the GOP can't even carry that off?

Why is it a gimmie? You and others like the way this country is headed and will probably vote to keep things headed the way they are. I never heard anyone say the Repubs would take the Senate, but I don't spend much time with the Huffy Poo Poo. They say it so you will see the elections as a victory no matter what happens. Lot's of Union $$ behind the Dems. A lot of Public Sector Union $$. Tax $$ in other words. The Dems will keep the Tax dollars flowing to the Unions so the Unions can keep the money headed back to Washington. Some in Law Enforcement would call that Money Laundering. If not out and out Larceny.
