#1 The proof is Obama's election to the presidency.

#2 The bright folks on the Left think that the whole problem is that they haven't explained their ideas and policies to us in a sufficiently convincing way. That's why we rubes don't get it.

To the contrary, they have explained it sufficiently, and that's why we say, and vote, NO!

#3 Klassik Kommentary!

Got it. People are so angry and frustrated at George W. Bush that they're voting for Republicans. In Massachusetts. Boy, I can't wait for that 159th interview.

#4 the whole problem is that they haven't explained their ideas and policies to us ~~in a sufficiently convincing way.~~ using small enough words.

Fixed it for you, Dr. Steve. ;-)

#5 Obama thinks you're stupid

That's OK. It's mutual.

#6 Obviously we don't understand it, because how could anyone oppose it? The idea of legitimate dissent is apparently dead and gone. We understood it just fine, and we hated it! Is that so hard to understand?

#7 Everybody wants to be Scott Brown now. It's getting to be like watching the end of "Spartacus"..

#8 well, it has little better feel than:

"I'm Creigh Deeds!"
"No, I'm Creigh Deeds"
"No, I'm Creigh Deeds"...

#9 I keep telling you folks that this is one time the Zero is correct.
The same thing that swept Scott Brown into office swept me into office

What this idiot and most of the idiots in DC don't get is WHAT THAT THING IS!!!!!

That thing is extreme anger and frustration that the corrupt financial dealings that got us into this mess are on both sides. Mostly Democrats but too many 'pubs too are nothing more than cogs in the machine that accepts millions from the fat-cats and return billions through shady laws. This is rent-seeking and corporatism all the way through. That's what is driving the anger.

Yes there are some other ancillary issues but they can be looked as as part of this main one.

Transparency, an end to ear marks and an end to punitive regulations at the behest of the big boys to punish the small fry, those are the things that need to be done.

Oh, yeah tar and pitchforks would help too.

#10 He is right about that for a certain portion of the electorate who still think he's doing a good job in spite of all evidence to the contrary.

#11 So much for the 'B+', huh?

What 'journalist' will be the first to bring that hot potato up?

Yeah, I won't hold my breath, though I saw pigs fly this past year...

#12 Can't believe people used to think this guy was smart. Sheesh.

As for explaining things, liberals don't do that. The more they explain, the less people want to vote for them. So they have become expert in not telling people what they are really up to.

Now that folks are starting to figure out what Obama is about, he thinks he can put the genie back in the bottle. He's going to go around trying to obfuscate and confuse in hopes of softening the opposition to his actual policies. Typical f&$king marxist bulls#@t.
