WHY BARACK OBAMA WILL BE A ONE TERM PRESIDENT

     In 2008 Barack Obama was propelled into the White House by a wave of enthusiasm unprecedented in American politics . He sold change and hope and the voters bought it hook , line and sinker .
    But in two short years of stagnant job growth the GOP has rallied and managed to wrest control of the House from the Dems with a huge majority .
    How did Obama and the Dems manage to squander all that political capital in so short a time ? Easy ! They misinterpreted their victory as an endorsememt of their social agenda instead of voter frustration with Bush , the Iraq war and the economic collapse which it really was . They did not vote Obama in but voted the GOP out !!
    Also , they forgot that in American politics you campaign to your base but govern from the center . This is how it has always been and always will be in a center/right America . Clinton survived because he was a moderate . They ignored this basic principle and it cost them the House and any hope of pushing forward their agenda .
    Obama may have intended to govern as a moderate as Clinton did ( who knows ) ? But as Bob Dylan said " the times , they are a  changin" " ! Because now , in the House and Senate there is NO center . A far left and a far right but no center ! Both parties are hyperpartisan idealogogues . Obama's base ; elitist , liberal socialists ; pushed their social agenda hard . Obama seemed to push back a bit , but not nearly hard enough . What he did was roll over for Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid . Whatever his own intentions may have been he appeared to be a messenger boy for his masters , Pelosi and Reid .
    And this dynamic duo seemed utterly oblivious to the fact that America ( and the world ) was going through the worst recession since the thirties . The jobless rate stalled at 9.8 % . And yet the first 14 months of his Presidency were focused entirely on Health Care !
    POLITICS 101 - You don't focus on social programs in tough economic times !!! Remember the sign in Ronald Reagen's office ? " IT'S THE ECONOMY STUPID ! "And the Dems played it stupidly !! Jobs trump social programs . TIMING is EVERYTHING people!!
    The electorate was hopping up and down with their on fire and screaming GET ME A JOB !!! Drunk with their perceived power , they ignored the American people and they paid the supreme price . Cause when you ignore the people they send you home . And that is just what they did !
    The message they sent to Obama is ; forget the progressive elements in your base and govern from the center ! Forget Pelosi and Reid - they have been de-fanged anyway ! MAN UP and dump these people . Dump your advisers ! Focus on issues important to us - GET US BACK TO WORK !!

    If the electorate sees you doing this they will reward you with a second Presidency ; if you fail to listen you can go back to teaching in 2012 !!
