There's no longer any question of whether the President is following a failed political strategy. It just FAILED. Spectacularly. And yet, here you are, arguing that we blame the *voters* for noticing, while the President continues pulling the same weak-ass shit that just cost us the House.

I don't know what the problem is here, but the lesson delivered by the electorate does not seem to be getting through. People DO NOT LIKE what has been happening over the past 2 years, so they voted for someone else. And not just anybody else. They voted for the same racists and nutbags and criminals that got us into this mess. In fact, I'm pretty sure they voted for WORSE racists and nutbags and criminals.

This was a colossal political failure. The equivalent of FDR losing Congress in 1934 to a Republican party led by the Nazis. Trying to lay this at the feet of the VOTERS is about as detached from reality as you can get.
