Obama's poll numbers are dropping, and the stinging loss in Mass has shaken his advisors up. I think they are looking back at how Reagan recovered from his low poll numbers after the 1983 recession, which also was a pretty bad one. The big difference is that Reagan and Obama have different bases, so it's probably not going to work for Obama to look tough on the deficit and defense. I voted for Obama in part to help move us towards more domestic spending and away from excessive defense spening, and I am pretty disheartened by this latest proposal. It's like a trip back to my teenage years when Reagan proposed freezing domestic spending and increasing defense spending. The Democratic Congress didn't go along with Reagan, and I suspect this Congress won't go along with Obama either, unless they have been completely bribed by the military industrial complex, which might be the case these days. Perhaps they'd be better off looking at how Clinton recovered from some early poll number dips and policy defeats. I never felt like Clinton was going back to the Reagan days.
