Democrats in Congress and the White House have only themselves to blame. The country wanted change and we got the same old nonsense. Dithering, hand wringing, "compromises" with the Republicans, and importantly, as you pointed out, stupidity.

Its obvious to me that the country still wants change. Liberals, progressives and the young are sitting on the sidelines because they're disappointed with the current government, and the Republicans are storming back as the only viable "change" from the status quo.

We needed big, bold leadership. We needed Obama and the dems to stuff the GOP at every turn, lord knows, they were asking for it and failing all over the place in 2009. That was the time to drive in the killing stroke, but instead the Dems backed off and bickered.

Current members of the House and Senate and the White House have only themselves to blame here. And the rest of the country will suffer for that.

Its ironic, that Republican incompetence is what put the Democrats in power, and it will be Democratic incompetence that will put the Republicans on equal footing, and possibly, in control of Congress.

Its like the stupid is just being passed around like a joint.
