Forget the liberal hype about a comeback: 2010 was a stunningly bad year for Barack Obama, and 2011 could be even worse

They Hate Our Guts…..And they’re drunk on power.

THE WEEKLY STANDARD By: P.J. O’Rourke Perhaps you’re having a tiny last minute qualm about voting Republican. Take heart. And take the House and the Senate.
