President Obama isn’t riding as high as he thinks. He’s popular, though no more than is usual for a new president. His party is in charge on Capitol Hill, but its command of the Senate is fraying. And just last week, the faint outlines of a center-right coalition in opposition to Obama’s policies–and increasingly to Obama himself–began to emerge. It’s an embryonic grouping that may prove to be ephemeral. But maybe not…
Obama hasn’t failed. He’s been in office less than two months. But he is sowing the seeds of failure, both economically and politically. He doesn’t quite own the economy yet, but he does own the stock market. It’s a bet on the future. And so far the stock market has registered a resounding vote of no confidence in Obama’s economic policies. Nor has Obama helped matters with his seeming indifference to the uninterrupted decline in equities since his inauguration.
It’s of vital importance that center-right bloggers keep the heat on Obama and Democrats. Letting off for a while would be a major mistake. They have to know thousands, no millions, are keeping an eye on everything they’re doing. Telling them you ‘trust’ them and leave it at that is going to be horrendous. As long as the center-right is united, Obama and Democrats in general will have a harder time pursuing their rather obvious far-left agenda.
