Life Boats at the Ready by Dr. T
Having done their duty by sufficiently destroying the greatest economy on the planet, the President's economic team has headed back to the serene and coddling ivy halls of academia; where they will again take up the baton and fill developing minds with the evils of capitalism.
In lockstep with them is the President's chief of staff, the ballet boy turned professional arm twister, Rahm Emanuel. In addition, the word is that soon Defense Secretary Robert Gates will join the long line of life vested appointees looking to jump the sinking ship. With astonishingly negative poll numbers for the Democrats, the administration is in overdrive. The President is back in campaign mode desperately trying to regain the fleeting adulation of his inauguration. But the mojo isn't working, the words ring more hollow than the first time around and folks are meting out a collective yawn. Our ever-eloquent Vice President has taken to chastising both the electorate and his own party, calling them whiners. Gee it's only 9.5% unemployment and the stimulus IS working...what are you complaining about?
With just about a month to go before what promises to be the biggest referendum of a sitting President and Congress, these final days will be a brutal battle between Democrat incumbents who cannot brag about policies and bills passed because of their blatant unpopularity and newcomer Republicans who must challenge the old guard establishment.
Hang on, it's gonna be a bumpy ride!
