OK...given the current Congress, where we lost 4 or so seats in each house by following the leader of our party; the press as it was in Jan '05; a pres coming into office with 48% approval; O'Reilly, Limbaugh,Scarborgh, all Faux (all beginning Nov 3 with "This guy lost by 3.5 mil votes, and only won by cheating in Ohio"); the scene in Iraq more or less as it is, cuz until a month or so ago, when 51% of us finally turned, all he had was a better way to win; ( and the RW would never let him think of pulling out); gas at maybe $2.75, how popular would he be?
The only thing he would have done (been able to do) better is Katrina, and he could have done it 1000% better and been torn down by the media.
He couldn't muster votes to change taxes back, he couldn't muster votes to increase minimum wage, he wouldn't be able to muster votes to increase mileage standards, blah, blah.
We'd feel better, the country would feel worse., and it would be another 20 years B4 we would have another shot. Come back when you have somebody with coattails and an ability to lead. Maybe then we can do it. |
