Actually Susan, a close to accurate assessment of this weeks results. There is one real issue driving these results, and you failed to mention it. Or, as Bill Clinton so accurately observed,"It's the economy, stupid!" Obama passed his stimulus pork bill on the words," With this bill, unemployment will not hit 8%." Well, unemployment has reached 10.2%, and shows no sign of getting better despite all the jobs "Created or saved ", by the White House. This is why independents are changing sides. Obama did inherit an economic mess, but one year later it is his mess now, and what he is doing is making it worse. Dramatically increasing the debt will soon come to haunt us with much higher interest rates and a lower dollar value, spiking inflation. His economic policy is Jimmy Carter on steroids. He has chosen the worst economic time to pass a debt laden health care reform bill. If he wants a public option allow insurance companies to compete across State lines and buy Blue Cross like he Bought GM. Then he could set whatever rates he wants, and drive out competition like the old time robber barons did in the nineteenth century. Who needs Congress; he can do that on his own.
