Ouch! Nile Gardiner counts Obama's liabilities

Please read the whole thing, but the following paragraph beautifully summarizes the whole:

There is a distinctly Titanic-like feel to the Obama presidency and it’s not hard to see why. The most left-wing president in modern American history has tried to force a highly interventionist, government-driven agenda that runs counter to the principles of free enterprise, individual freedom, and limited government that have made the United States the greatest power in the world, and the freest nation on earth.

That disconnect between Obama and the nation he leads, along with the cooperation he received from Democrats, signals the electoral backlash in November.

The problem, of course, is that Republicans may not achieve the type of majorities the Democrats enjoyed while they remade society over the objections of their constituents.  Much of the federal government creep may be difficult to lop off.
