Robbie I can respect everything in the above post but I also consider it wrong. You say that the dems had a majority in both houses and Obama in the white house. On paper that is true but they did not have a super majority. They could not pass anything because the republicans simply stomped their feet, held their breath and cried filibuster on everything. The dems were also shackled by blue dogs that got the DNC's cash for their campaigns but NEVER voted with the party... pulling them to the right on every single vote.
The republicans were unanimous and moved as a block. They may have been the minority party but they wielded huge amounts of power and control. Add that to the fact that Obama had all the leadership qualities of a medicated infant he and the dems have been at the mercy of republican whims. Because of the gains the tea party made in the mid term the extreme on the right has been emboldened and now I think the leadership in the RNC might be seeing that their deal with the devil cannot give them long term success. It is generally considered to be common wisdom that to win the primaries the candidate will have to cater to the desires of the extreme right which will hurt them exponentially in the general campaign.
If Romney can make it through the primaries and get the nomination I think he stands a very good chance of toppling Obama I really do. But when I see people criticizing Obama for what he did or did not do and places no blame on the republican bullies who have refused to govern at all since 08 it gets me a bit riled up.
my apologies for long post
