I think Obama needs a big change and I agree bouncing Rahm would be a great start. Polls come and go and swing up or down but I think there is a pattern here and while I am not an the inside I do think Obama needs to not only adjust his goals but needs to seriously make an effort to work with the Right. Like it or not the message of "NO" is working simply because the majority dont like his agenda.
Just like the country held Bush accountable for his "Read my lips" promise the country is turning on Obama for his broken ones aswell but its a series of promises not one big soundbite. Everyone can see its business as usual, everyone can see there is no more transparency but infact there is less, many can see deals being made by special interest groups yet we were told the wouldnt find their way into 1600, he promised a Net across the board cut in spending, sorry folks, he said he was going to "ban all earmarks" that didnt happen, he promised any Bill would be posted for 5 days online for the public to view before he signs, broke that one too, and the latest promise he made that folks have come to remember is the fact he attacked John McCain as a guy who was going to "Tax healthcare benefits" and proudly noted that McCains idea was so unpopular it has never in the history of our country been done.
So the left can blame the Right as the party of NO, can blame the media for relentlessly reminding folks how our President strayed from both his message and promise he ran on, can blame the past administration for what it "inherited", he can blame like the best of him but until he starts taking control and responsibility for his own actions I think he and his party are in for a long cold day in November no matter what happens tonight.
