As Election Winds Down Bush still DOESN'T GET IT

"As I wrote in my Hardball Column today, President Bush's divisive rhetoric these final days going into the election is no surprise. And when the Democrats prevail in two weeks, he will have no one to blame but himself.

When I look back at my posts over the last two years, it is obvious that I had joined a chorus of those who thought we were doomed to do nothing but complain until the 2008 election.


But the voters had more faith in the system and more impatience for the status quo than I imagined. And I credit the blogosphere for much of the movement. Not only has the web drawn millions of Americans to become informed and engaged, it has consistently maintained pressure on the mainstream media (though most will deny it) since the 2004 election to push back on the White House spin.

And now, despite the most aggressive dominance of one-party control that I have ever seen in my 30 years in Washington, DC, community dissent has risen above power and money. People from all walks of life across this country have expressed a dissatisfaction often bordering on outrage at the direction of our country. For sure, the leading crisis for those views is the failing war in Iraq. But it is clear from the current election polling in so many congressional districts that concern about the domestic agenda is also on voter's minds.


.... SNIP"
