Nationwide, Democrats have been wiped out because of Obama, just like I predicted in 2008.

"Presidential campaigns and open nomination contests help bring new leaders to national prominence. That appears unlikely in 2016. For all her positive attributes, former secretary of state Hillary Rodham Clinton is a suffocating presence when it comes to intraparty presidential competition."

An Alinsky too, she's part of the problem.

More of what we can expect from Obama.

"As Brion McClanahan cogently pointed out, some observers are urging President Obama to be more Lincolnesque in his remaining two year term.
What would this entail?
It would mean that the White House languishing lame duck (distrusted and rejected by a majority of his countrymen) become even more of a vengeful ideologically driven partisan recklessly ignoring prudential compromise and diplomacy in order to appease his inner demons of narcissism, power-lust and hubris."

Sounds about right.

"The real substance within the DC beltway has not changed. The Deep State will remain unaffected by Tuesday’s electoral results.
The American people at large still do not get it. The Deep State, driven by the imperial presidency, an acquiescent congress and a complacent federal judiciary, has destroyed the American Republic. Their parasitic welfare-warfare state, enabled by the Fed, fosters and promotes the profligacy and dependency which is at the root of this destructive process."

No change there.

"In Tuesday’s congressional election the vast majority of incumbents were re-elected.
Politicians have but one firm goal — re-election. And robbing Peter to buy the vote of Paul is the surest way to this goal. It is the shared doctrine of nominal Republicans and Democrats alike."

Well said.

Obama could do as bad as Lincoln and start a second civil war.

It looks like the Pope is starting a civil war in the Church.

Catalonia independence vote tomorrow.
