THE TYGRRRR EXPRESS

Since Barack Obama became President, there has been much liberal blathering from him and his supporters about “teachable moments.”

The problem with those teachable moments is that they occur when Barack Obama screws something up, and then condescendingly shows us how we can learn from his mistakes.

Whether it be falsely accusing a white cop of racism or firing a black subordinate and then backtracking, Barack Obama sometimes shoots first and asks questions later.

As an academic, Mr. Obama loves to lecture people, but most of his teachable moments are where he needs to learn something, not us. He is teaching us not to overreact without having all the facts, but we already know that.

A real teachable moment occurs when an individual points out how they can improve themselves.

The words “teachable moment” are those types of situations where a parent can turn to their child and say, “this is what character is all about. This is what I want you to emulate in terms of behavior.” It is called leading by example.

Recent comments by rapper Kanye West involving former President George W. Bush provide a real teachable moment.

In 2005, Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans. President Bush was roundly criticized for the failure of the government to act in an expeditious manner. While I personally felt the criticism was unfair, political disputes are legitimate. The Katrina situation wrecked the core perception of the Bush administration as one of competency.

Yet Kanye West took it a step further. Mr. West is black, and he accused President Bush of racism. He even had a line in one of his songs that said, “George W Bush doesn’t care about black people.” It was a disgusting accusation, especially for a president who took great pride in being the first president to have a black Secretary of State, black National Security Council Head, and Black Deputy Attorney General.

President Bush refused to hit back, and his staff was under orders to follow his rules, which meant acting with dignity, class, and grace (For one thing, it drove his critics bonkers that he refused to sink to their level) in the face of malevolence.

The perception of President George Bush as a racist was a horrible act of character assassination, and Kanye West started it.

Then the tables were turned on Kanye West.

At a music awards show, Taylor Swift, who is white, was on stage accepting an award. Kanye West rushed the stage and jokingly announced that the award should have gone to Beyonce, who is black.

While Mr. West did not mention race, was barely coherent, and most likely just clowning around, he was branded a racist by people for upstaging Swift. While his defenders saw it as an attempt at being funny that backfired, virtually everybody in the entertainment industry took Swift’s side.

Fast forward to this week. President Bush is about to release his memoirs, entitled “Decision Points.” While the left is already sneering and feeding their Bush Derangement Syndrome (Get ready for leftist jokes about whether it is a coloring book, since anger at him is all they have.), excerpts have leaked out.

One excerpt that has gone public is President Bush stating how bothered he was by Kanye’s remarks. Those remarks still bother him. Of course they do. The left cannot figure this out, but President Bush is a human being made of blood and plasma. Accusations of racism, especially false ones, should hurt.

Kanye West was on a radio show this week, and when told of President Bush’s remarks, he did something that most people have trouble doing.

He admitted he was wrong.

He took responsibility for his comments and said he wished he had not said them. He said that when he faced his own accusation of racism, it made him realize how President Bush must have felt.

I am not saying we should nominate Kanye West for Sainthood, but this does matter.

The whole adage of not knowing a man until you walk a mile in his shoes is still true today.

Kanye West and George W Bush have had very different upbringings and life experiences.

Kanye West unfairly and inaccurately judged George W. Bush.

Yet despite all of the initial comments, Kanye West took a wrong and sincerely attempted to make it right.

He did not equivocate or make excuses. He took responsibility for his words and rescinded them.

It takes a big man to do this.

It also takes a big man to forgive. I suspect President Bush will forgive Kanye West because Mr. Bush deeply believes in the Christianity that his secular detractors despise. Christianity is not just about social political issues. It is a set of values, and President Bush honestly adheres to those values. So forgiving Kanye West is consistent with his character.

Character…that is what matters in the long run.

That is what we want to teach our children and future generations.

I would like to thank Kanye West for being a big enough man to admit that he was wrong about President Bush. We can disagree about politics without being enemies, and Kanye’s own experiences have showed him this.

This is what life, and life experiences, are about.

So if Kanye West can grow from this, and President Bush can forgive him, can’t we all give each other a little more slack before we rush to impugn the motives of people and their hearts just because we disagree?

If the answer is yes, then Kanye West and President Bush have given us a valuable lesson for the ages.

That is what a teachable moment is all about.

The UCLA MES supports gay genocide.

I recently attended the 2010 University of Crooked Lying Arabists Queer Studies Conference, in addition to other pro-bigotry conferences. While I find the word “queer” to be an offensive anti-gay slur, this is UCLA after all. Flying planes into towers is offensive, but the university’s commitment to “diversity” does not explore such radical notions.

I have attended several of these conferences and reported from them. Yet today is not a specific report of any specific conference, nor is it endorsed by anybody except yours truly.

This is just a random set of observations, a compendium of the most delightful forms of idiocy mashed together in a series of thoughts.

For those offended by my observations, you deserve it.

If 10% of people are gay, and Arabs are people, doesn’t that mean that statistically speaking, 10% of all wealthy Saudi Princes and Iranian Mullahs are homosexual? To deny this would be to treat them as unequal to everybody else, and therefore make me insensitive.

If the West has so much power, why don’t we force the other 90% of them to become gay so in 100 years they will cease to exist? We can’t even give the Mullahs laryngitis. Even if we did, they would take lozenges most likely made in Israel and blame that on a Jewish conspiracy.

Some of these professors are almost too boring for UCLA MES Professor and gender neutral Susan Slyomovics. Susan Slyomovics finding you boring is like the Mullahs finding innocent gay people intolerant.

Islamist professors spend so much time talking about sex that they most likely take out their repression on those equally confused and repressed.

I believe Rob Schneider made a movie about that called “Deuce Bigalow, Male Gigolo.” Schneider is Jewish, further proof of the (Jewgalo Zionist Conspiracy) secret and unspoken (until now) JZC.

When one professor pointed out that “queer includes the butch feminine,” Susan Slyomovics perked up instantly at that comment for undisclosed reasons.

(Think the Julia Sweeney character “Pat” from Saturday Night Live.)

When a professor says that terms for gay people do not translate well, the simple translation is that typical Islamist Bigots refuse to acknowledge gay existence.

In Hebrew terms, UCLA MES professors are full of Falafel.

Self-loathing crosses all boundaries, including Arab Muslim culture.

These professors are fixated on gay sex, Jewish sex, and other forms of minority sex, all in the name of “research.”

So yes, virtually every Islamist is truly obsessed with Rob Schneider.

Some of these Islamofascist professors most likely consider research to be collecting dollar bills that were received from gay Islamist bathhouses where the head Mullahs sing in prayer “Hallelujah, It’s Raining Men.”

Whatever the homosexual equivalent of an Oedipus Complex is, these professors protest way too much.

I did not know that everybody in the Mediterranean was a gay Arab Muslim. UCLA MES education is valuable after all.

When an Islamist calls others the fringe, the world truly is upside down around the Mediterranean.

Pro-bigotry conferences would not be complete without a leftist Jew supporting the Arab Muslim point of view in the name of tolerance and peace.

We should “Stop hiding from false morals. Why are some homosexuals gayer than others and obsessed with sex?”

How would I know? These academic perverts are more obsessed with gay sex than Professor Garrison from South Park, Colorado. I just show up to study homophobic Islamist professors in their natural leftist habitat.

One intellectual genius (by university, not real standards) opined that the more Jews who become homosexuals, the more of both of them there are. This seems to defy the laws of gravity, childbirth, and numbers combined. This man could win multiple Nobel Prizes in literature and science, and mathematics if the committee would create that.

A Jew is anybody born to a Jewish mother. In the same way, UCLA MES professors are goats. Also, “goat” when rearranged spells “toga,” the type of party that allows UCLA college students to be less sexually repressed than the MES professors and the Islamists they adore.

“Queer disability has also grown, in terms of television and gay pride parades.”

Being an Islamist professor is a disability, and 
I now realize why I support sending MES professors to Guantanamo Bay.

Susan Slyomovics seems to match her intellectual deficiencies with structural ones, rendering me unable to determine how many genders she has been in her current and past lifetimes.

(At this point I could again consult Julia Sweeney, although Shirley McLaine might be a better expert witness.)

For those wondering why any serious university would have a “performance” by a woman named Vagina Davis, the answer is that Gray Davis and California University Nasty Tawdry Davis were unavailable.

So what could possibly unite such disparate groups such as radical feminists, radical Islamists, and radical gay Islamist-loving extremists?

The obvious conclusion that when the experimental drugs were being handed out on campus, none of the misfits in any these categories were in the placebo group.

I recently attended another terrorist sleeper cell meeting at UCLA that billed itself as an academic conference. The anti-gay, anti-Semitic and anti-American rhetoric flowed like a fabulous fragrance from a homosexual Islamist cologne bottle. The links to the column are at Campus Watch and American Thinker.

I would like to thank Daniel Pipes at the Middle East Forum and Richard Baehr and Thomas Lifson at American Thinker for their friendship, support, and total commitment to defeating Radical Islam.

I will not be covering the bulk of President Obama’s remarks on 60 Minutes because he just repeated the same nonsense from his Wednesday news conference.

“Republicans were able to paint my governing philosophy as a classic traditional big government liberal, and that is not something the American people want.”

Then don’t be one. Joe Manchin survived by being a moderate Democrat. Mr. Obama left out one word in this sentence. The word is “accurately.” They accurately portrayed him as he actually is.

He decried partisan bickering while taking a cheap shot at Mitt Romney. Such is the world of the First Spoiled Brat in Chief.

Anyway, he is useless. I don;t have time to wait for him to become an adult. Today is about California.

While the Republicans won big in the 2010 elections throughout America, California moved further to the left.

Telegenic rising stars Damon Dunn and Tony Strickland went down to defeat in their respective races for Secretary of State and Controller.

Meg Whitman spent over $150 million dollars, and lost the Governor’s race to Jerry Brown.

Carly Fiorina faced a very vulnerable Barbara Boxer, yet despite sky high negatives, Boxer comfortably survived.

Republican Steve Cooley did win his race for District Attorney, but he was the incumbent. Every other statewide office is in the power of the Democrats.

So the question outsiders want to know is…how did this happen? What the heck is wrong with California?

As much as it will frustrate outsiders, the results were not surprising, or abnormal. In fact, they made perfect sense.

The national results were a rejection of Barack Obama. The left can kick, cry, an scream, because that is what they do. No amount of yelling will change the fact that the leadership at the top was seen as not getting the job done. All across the country, Democrats lost because of Barack Obama. He is a Democrat, so people voted Republican.

In California, the situation was the mirror image of the nation.

Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger is seen as a failed leader. He is a Republican. Therefore, Californians voted for Democrats.

One thing I will never do is blame the voters. Barack Obama said that Americans were frustrated and confused. No. They clearly rejected him.

So it would be hypocritical of me to say that the majority of voters in California are imbeciles, as tempting as that is.

Supporting the imbecile theory is the notion of what Californians care about.

In Oklahoma, as we face a War on Terror, citizens there passed an initiative banning Sharia Law.

In California, as the state is broke, voters focus on…legalizing marijuana.

Think about it. While the state is collapsing, 40% of voters are concerned with getting stoned. Even if one is pro-legalization (I am not), is that issue so important that it merits attention in this election cycle?

So while the rest of America focuses on the economy and national security, California decides to just hang loose and get high. Real productive.

Nevertheless, again, that is not what hurt Republicans at the polls.

Arnold Schwarzenegger was an albatross around Republican necks.

Some people will question this analysis because Arnold Schwarzenegger is not even a “real” Republican. He is a very liberal Republican who is married to a Kennedy.

This does not matter. He has the “R” next to his name.

The lesson for conservatives is to stop trying to compromise with the left on core principles. It is imposible to win over everybody, but it is possible to lose everybody.

Arnold moved sharply to the left after his first year in office. He lose the Republican base, many who were suspicious of him from the very beginning.

Yet given his move to the left, was he rewarded with love from the left?

No. Of course not. He had the “R,” and was therefore evil once elections came around.

(John McCain was a media darling when bashing his fellow Republicans. Yet the minute he ran against a true liberal in Barack Obama, the media turned on him. He was a man with the left and the right upset with him.)

Arnold Schwarzenegger lost everybody. Meg Whitman was seen as the second coming of Arnold.

I saw Meg Whitman as the potential second coming of Pete Wilson. He was reviled at the time, but ended up a fabulous leader who is revered today among many Californians as an elder statesman.

Meg Whitman was smart, likable, and business-minded. Wasn’t she running against Jerry Brown, the leftist nutcase?

No. She was running against Jerry Brown 2.0.

(Joe Manchin in West Virginia was tied to Obama, but the voters didn’t buy it. He was a moderate Democrat, and the voters saw this.)

Jerry Brown was nuts in the 1970s. He was Governor Moonbeam. He appointed Rose Bird and thwarted the will of the people regarding the death penalty.

Then something happened to him. He did what many liberals refuse to do. He grew up and became an adult.

His stint as Mayor of Oakland did him a world of good. People expected him to be anti-police, allowing black panthers and other criminals to wreck the city.

Jerry Brown was seen as pro-police without totally angering the minority community of Oakland. Many police officers were shocked at his stances, often in their favor.

Then he became Attorney General. He actually enforced the law. He was not a leftist crusader. He put his head down and did his job.

I want to make it clear that I am not a Jerry Brown supporter. I did not vote for him. He could turn out to be every bit as insane as the right thinks he is.

Yet I would not be surprised if he is different this time. Enough voters were not scared of him. He was an acceptable alternative.

He was also likable. Meg Whitman and Jerry Brown tried to demonize each other, but neither one was detestable personally. So that became a wash.

In a tough year for Republicans at the state level, only a very good Republican could defeat a very bad Democrat. Steve Cooley survived.

The Senate race was different. Neither candidate was liked.

Barbara Boxer is loathsome. She is a vile, detestable woman. She votes the same way as Dianne Feinstein, but Feinstein is pleasant (and pretty much unbeatable). Boxer is a shrew. It is not her being liberal or being a woman. It is her being herself.

So a likable person like Meg Whitman could have beaten her.

In the primaries, Chuck DeVore was a strong candidate (I backed him). He was a real conservative, but one that did not frighten voters. He is friendly and likable. He is very conservative on social issues, but he kept emphasizing economics. He could have debated Boxer and won.

Chuck DeVore and Carly Fiorina were in a close primary, with Carly ahead. Then the race took a twist.

Tom Campbell was a distant third in the gubernatorial race behind Meg Whitman and Steve Poizner. He had no chance of winning. So instead, he dropped out and entered the Senate race. He and Carly were tied, and DeVore was a close third.

Yet many Republicans wanted Campbell stopped at all costs. He is a very liberal Republican, and the conservatives distrusted him. He was also seen as pro-Palestinian, making Jewish Republicans very nervous. Barbara Boxer claims to be pro-Israel, but she is a leftist Obama sycophant who stood up for Jesse Jackson when he made his Hymietown remarks. Yet against Campbell, she would have played the Jewish card.

So while DeVore was the best choice, especially for conservatives, the desperation to stop Campbell led Republicans to rally around Carly.

(A great parallel was the 1996 GOP Presidential race. Dick Lugar and Lamar Alexander were good candidates, but once Pat Buchanan won New Hampshire, everybody rallied around Bob Dole to stop Buchanan. The Democrats went through this in 1988. Al Gore and Dick Gephardt were serious candidates, but Jesse Jackson became a threat and everybody rallied around Michael Dukakis. Dukakis and Dole showed what happened when voters settle.)

I am not here to bash Carly Fiorina. Having said that, there was plenty of grumbling about her style. Many Republicans found her prickly and downright unlikable. This never came up with Meg Whitman.

So both candidates for Governor were liked and both candidates for Senator were disliked. It was a wash, which is a loss for Republicans when the top of the ticket is Republican and intensely disliked.

So where does California go from here?

Well a couple of propositions just passed could cripple Democrats.

One proposition that passed reduced the votes needed to pass the budget from a 2/3 majority to a simple majority. I was against this, because it will allow the left to ram through their agenda.

Yet all is not fabulous for the left because another proposition that passed increased the votes required to raise taxes from a simple majority to a 2/3 majority.

So Democrats will get all the blame for the budget because Republicans cannot block it. Yet Democrats cannot enact tax increased. This means that to pass a budget, Democrats will have to make steep cuts. The fight will be between Democrats and other Democrats. It will be bloody as they fight over what to cut.

Cuts will be good for the state, but nobody wants to make the cuts because it is electoral suicide.

Yet refusing to make the cuts just makes matters worse.

Arnold Schwarzenegger refused to make the tough choices. He dragged the party down.

That is how California got into this mess. Republicans acted like Democrats, and were punished for it.

California is not a blue state. It is a swing state. Barbara Boxer won 52-43, not 80-20.

Some will say that the left won big because they won in a GOP year.

Again, in California, this was set up to be a big year for the Democrats. They won as expected.

Now they have to govern. If they do as well as the Democrats did on the national level with Obama and the Pelosiraptor, Republicans could be back in power in California very soon.

Of course, if marijuana becomes legalized, the Democrats will win in perpetuity because it will not be repealed. Trying to take beer away from Joe 6-Pack is a non-starter. Trying to take the marijuana away from Joe Hippie Pothead will not happen.

I will be outsourcing my column today because somebody explained the Nevada Senate race in a much better manner than I could.

Going into the election, Sharron Angle had a 3 point lead over Harry Reid, yet he won by about 6 points. Yes, there was some corruption that will be dismissed as aberrations because liberals are noble and virtuous, so lying, cheating, and stealing is allowed. I am curious as to why the voting machines already were marked for Harry Reid. I am also interested in that SEIU criminals are the ones entrusted to “fix” them. They may have fixed them, but in a different kind of way. The fix was in.

I have done events with Sharron Angle, and she is a lovely person. Harry Reid, while professional in dealing with me personally, has a mean streak in him that is sad to watch.

Yet nobody respects sour grapes, so I am going to turn my column over today to somebody who is not a donkey or elephant. Wayne Root was the 2008 Libertarian candidate for Vice President, with former Georgia Congressman Bob Barr heading the ticket.

I have met Wayne more than once. He is a good guy, a family man, and a successful entrepreneur. He built a sportsbook business in Las Vegas from the ground up, and his policy proposals are sensible.

He lives in Nevada and understands politics. With that, I present the wisdom of Wayne Root on the Nevda Senate race.

http://www.rootforamerica.com/

Harry Reid won because:

A) Casino bosses DESPERATELY need him in his position of power (U.S. Senate Majority Leader)…so much so that even many Republican casino CEO’s in Las Vegas conspired to get him a victory….and appeared in TV ads for him…and bussed their 100,000 union employees to polls…reportedly with “suggested vote guides” in their hands.

B) Teachers unions reportedly offered $25 Starbucks gift cards to every teacher in the state…and literally gave every teacher Friday, Monday & Tuesday off for once a year “teachers conferences” so every teacher could vote Democrat to make sure they all keep their jobs…and obscene pensions…and also get future obscene raises in a depression.

C) Hispanic workers by the thousands were bussed to polls by Democrats and unions (but I repeat myself) to vote for Reid. How do I know? Because Reid was down by 4 in every poll…but won by 5. That’s a 9 point swing. Nevada Republican Congressional candidate Dr. Joe Heck was up by 10 points in polls. He won by less than 1% (in upset over Democratic Congresswoman Dina Titus)- a swing of 9 points too (even though the Republican hung on). But interestingly the Hispanic GOP candidate for Governor Brian Sandoval won by double digits over Harry Reid’s own son. So it’s pretty obvious what happened. Hispanics voted a straight Democrat ticket- except for the Hispanic Republican candidate for Governor. Hispanics were obviously the key to the election.

Now to a little truthful criticism and self-analysis of a Tea Party defeat:

Republicans blew it.

Angle did not run a good campaign.

She avoided the press- and it’s time for conservatives to COURT the media, not demonize it, or run from it. There is no choice- learn to live with the media, because you can’t live without it.

The Nevada GOP is non-existent, dis-organized, rudderless, leader-less, and in decline. It provides no help to GOP candidates.

Angle did not have a strong “get out the vote” organization on the ground. The Angle Team (and the Nevada GOP) did not understand the importance of getting out the vote- it’s more important than any visible aspect of a campaign.

They did not understand how to attract Hispanic votes. And they had better learn fast if they want to win any future elections. Hispanics are good people, family is their foundation, there are many Hispanic small business owners, and Hispanics should be part of the conservative movement. Conservatives and Tea Parties must learn how to communicate with and win over Hispanic voters or risk becoming obsolete.

I would like to thank Wayne Root for breaking things down in a crystal clear easy to understand manner. It will not take away the fact that the results are awful, but analysis should be about facts, not opinions.

The Pelosiraptor for once in her life has decided to remain silent. The death watch on her political career is particularly enjoyable, given the smugness and total lack of humility she exhibited while dragging down her entire party. Perhaps she can return to the Cretaceous Period (in her case the Cretinous Period) from which this political dinosaur fossil came from.

Yet even if the Republicans had won every single seat in Congress, Mr. Obama was not on the ballot to be fired. He held a press conference yesterday. I predicted that he would begin veering rightward.

I am going to say something Mr. Obama cannot say.

I was wrong.

Bill Clinton had it easy. He stood for nothing except getting reelected. If you disagreed with him, you could just wait a few weeks. He governed by polling. So for him to say “I get the message” was one of his rare moment of sincerity. He did get the message. He was paraphrasing former Illinois Senator Everett Dirksen, who is given credit for say, “When I feel the heat, I see the light.”

Bill Clinton cared about one thing. He wanted to get reelected, and he triangulated his way to a second term.

My prediction was that Barack Obama was like Bill Clinton and not Hillary Clinton. Hillary (who is also silent right now and hiding in Asia, a delightful turn of events for those who like silence) is a true believer. She pretends to be moderate, but she let her health care plan go down in flames because she cannot and will not compromise when she is so certain she is right and her critics were evil.

I had Barack Obama in the Bill Clinton category. I did not think he was an ideologue. I thought he was a cold, ruthless pragmatist who would do whatever it took to get reelected.

I was wrong.

His first press conference told me all I needed to know.

“Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid have provided extraordinary leadership over the last 2 years.”

Extraordinary? Really?

“It has been a long night for me.”

It has been a long 2 years for the American people sir. It is not all about you.

“Power rests with the people we have the privilege to serve. Around the country, I did some talking, but mostly I did a lot of listening.”

No you didn’t. You don’t listen to anybody. The Q and A coming up in this very press conference proves it.

“We’ve made progress, but too many Americans haven’t felt that progress.”

Enough already. The voters are not wrong. Things are regressing, but you are too insulated to feel that regression.

He then went on to babble about “promoting a clean energy economy.”

How about dropping your greeniac obsessions and just focus on the economy alone? Push everything but the economy and national security aside. When those issues are better, then you can do your pet projects.

“I am eager to hear good ideas from wherever they come from.”

You said that 2 years ago. This is a lie. You are totally inflexible. You discount other opinions while nodding your head as if you are actually listening. You have zero interest in competing ideas and define those disagreeing with you as evil and enemies.

“I want an honest and civil debate.”

Then be civil. Don’t use racially charged rhetoric like telling Republicans to sit in the back of the bus. Don’t talk about punishing your enemies and rewarding your friends. It makes you sound like a Chicago Mafioso.

“Don’t spend the next 2 years fighting the political battles of the last 2.”

Republicans are not going to just shut up and roll over because you don’t get your agenda passed. If you keep fighting, so will we. It is all on you. You are the leader. Act like one.

“I do believe there is hope for civility. This nation has gone through much worse than what we are going through now.”

Then stop saying you inherited the worst situation since the Great Depression. That is a lie. Be civil and stop blaming your predecessor. You want a world where we act civil and you keep attacking.

“We are proud to be Americans. That is something we all need to remember right now.”

We were always proud. It is you and your wife that express discomfort with American pride and exceptionalism.

For the first time in their miserable lives, the media failed to ignore the real story. This election was a total rejection of Barack Obama based almost exclusively due to his detestable policies. It was not voter anger, frustration, stupidity, temper tantrums, or anything else. The key would be if Barack Obama would accept this. He could not.

Ben Feller, AP– “Was this a Rejection of your agenda?”

BO: “People were expressing great frustration, people were not feeling the progress, they can’t see it.”

It isn’t there. Things have gotten worse.

He then mentioned building electric cars and helping kids improve in science and math before saying that the “overwhelming message is we want you to work harder.”

No. We want you to focus on the economy and nothing else.

Savannah Guthrie, NBC: “Has their been No second guessing yourself or reflecting, thinking that maybe you are not getting it?

BO: “I Made tough decisions, but the right decisions, averting a second Great Depression. People looked at all this and felt government was getting more intrusive. It was an emergency situation. I’m sympathetic to folks who looked at it and felt it was potential overreach. We were in such a hurry to get things done that we did not change how things got done, and that frustrated people.”

He did not make the right decisions. He keeps saying that people “feel” a certain way, which is a polite way of discounting their feelings. He cannot possibly accept that those feelings are right and he is wrong.

He then spoke clinically about the earmarks process, as if most people cared.

Savannah continued. “Is it possible voters rejected the policy changes you made?”

BO: “Voters are not satisfied with the outcomes. I am looking at all ideas that are on the table. If Republicans have good ideas for job growth and we haven’t thought of them, we want to try some. We are not going to rule out ideas on Democrat or Republican, we want to see what works.”

How can voters be unhappy with the outcomes without blaming the source of the outcomes? This is bordering on lunacy. Voters were unhappy with his policies. As for seeing what works, he blathered about that 2 years ago He doesn’t mean it. He has no interest in other ideas.

Mike Emanuel, FNC: “Is healthcare reform in danger of repeal?”

BO: “It is misreading the election if we thought the American people want to relitigate arguments of last 2 years.”

That is a line in the sand. There will be no compromise on repeal. When he keeps bringing up relitigating, that means we should all shut up and move on while he does as he d@mn well pleases. Move forward means we shut up and agree with him. No sir. It does not work that way.

He then told a sob story of anonymous voters, discounting the sob stories of those hurt by the Obamacare law.

BO: “This was the right thing to do. If Republicans have ideas for how to improve health care system, if they want to suggest modifications, I am happy to consider some of those ideas.  The 1099 system has too much paperwork, too much filing. We can tweak and make progress on legislation.”

Paperwork? Filing? The entire car needs to be destroyed and he is willing to look at changing yellow fuzzy dice on the dashboard from blue to red. Until he actually accepts a significant GOP idea, he no longer gets the benefit of the doubt.

Mike followed up: “What about the fact that 1 of 2 voters want it overturned?”

BO: “1 of 2 voters think it was the right thing to do.”

No. This is nuts. Some had no opinion. Those wanting repeal far outweigh those who do not. This does not matter anyway. He insists he is right, and will not change it in any meaningful way.

Chip Reid, CBS: “Is spending to create jobs dead?”

BO: “It is Important for Democrats and Republicans. Will have a deficit commission that is bipartisan. Eliminate programs that don’t work, be more efficient, streamline government, make sure it isn’t cutting into core investments. What are our priorities? What do we care about? That will be a tough debate. A big deficit I inherited was made worse by the recession. People would agree there should be no cutting into education, research and development such as clean energy. Distinguish between stuff not adding to our growth and things that are absolutely necessary to growth. The single most important thing to do is make sure taxes don’t go up on middle class families. We need to sustain the recovery. We need budget cuts that are intelligent and smart.”

This man is a human platitude. Core investments are whatever he says they are, and how dare anybody want to cut education. Smart and intelligent cuts are whatever he decides. He blames his predecessor, yet he has had 2 years, and he has made things worse. People do not feel worse for no reason. Things are worse because of him. He cannot grasp this.

Chip followed up. “Do you see that what you call investments, others call wasteful spending?”

BO: “Without any GOP support on anything it is hard to get things done. Part of the message to Republicans is we want to see stronger job growth. If there are good ideas about putting people back to work, I know they will be willing to have a serious conversation about. Do we all come to the table with an open mind?”

Good lord, it is President Obama that comes to the table with a closed mind and predetermined opinions. His initial answer was “Elections have consequences. I won.” As for GOP support, the left had total control of everything. They had zero interest in bipartisanship. They got what they deserved yesterday.

Peter Baker, Jayson Blair Times: “What were the consequences of this election, what will you compromise on?”

BO: “I have been willing to compromise on the past and will be willing going forward on a whole range of issues.”

In other words, nothing. He will bash Republicans as obstructionists for not agreeing with his every desire.

He kept talking about electric cars, restarting the nuclear industry, and reducing greenhouse gases.

In other words, he spent his first year focusing on health care. He only cares about 3 things, health care, education, and environmental concerns. He got health care, and no matter how much the public begs for jobs, he keeps insisting that focusing on a green agenda will create jobs in the same way that his health care disaster would create jobs. He is an ideologue.

Jake Tapper, ABC: “Will you compromise on the higher income tax cuts? When you call your friends and see 19 state legislatures go to other side, what does it feel like?”

BO: “It feels bad. There is sadness about seeing them go and questioning on my part. Could I have done something different or something more? They said they do not have regrets because they were doing the right thing. Maybe they are trying to make me feel better, which is a sign of their character. The tax cuts, I don’t want a huge spike in tax cuts for middle class families.”

Of course they regret losing their jobs. Sheesh. He keeps saying he wants to extend the middle class tax cuts, which is his way of saying he will not extend all of them. That again is his inflexibility. He cannot accept that keeping the upper income tax cuts is good policy. Republicans must not bend on this. We are right, he is wrong.

Laura Meckler, WSJ: “Do you support the EPA regulating carbon emissions? Do you wish you had not made health care deals?”

BO: “Lowering costs was absolutely critical for this country. In this partisan environment, process is an ugly mess. I regret we could not make the process more healthier. The outcome was a good one. Regarding the EPA, the smartest thing to do is get Republicans and Democrats who are serious, and see if there are ways we can make progress in the short term. The EPA is under a court order saying greenhouse gases are a pollutant, and fall under their jurisdiction. It is important not to ignore the science. Cap and Trade was one way of skinning the cat, a means, not an end, there are other means.

In other words, he will use any means necessary to ram his greeniac agenda through, no matter what anybody else says. He wants Republicans who are “serious,” which means they agree with him. Will he listen to any Republicans skeptical of climate change? Of course not. They will be demonized as quacks.

With health care, he criticizes the process. He is the process. He could have chosen a better way of proceeding. He deliberately decided not to do so. He cannot admit he is at fault.

Ed Henry, CNN: “Is it possible that a majority of Americans think your policies are putting America in reverse? Will you backpedal on Don’t ask, don’t tell?”

“As Commander In Chief, I have said making this change needs to be done in an orderly fashion. Look at this in a systematic way. There will be a review that comes out that will have surveyed attitudes and opinions. That will give us time to act, potentially in the lame duck session.”

This is not necessary. Either do it or don’t do it. The CIC has the power to tell the military to do things. This man is amazing. He imposes his will on almost everybody with zero regard for dissent, all the while talking about working together. Then the one time he can settle an issue either with an executive order or by refusing to issue one, he stalls. This is like his Afghanistan decision to send troops. It was not careful deliberation. It was dithering and delaying according to polls. On gays in the military, the leader should just either way just lead and be done with the issue. Quit cowering.

Then he went to the very important first question of whether it was his policies that have us going in reverse.

BO: “In terms of how we move forward, THE American people understand we are still digging ourselves out of a big mess. They do not feel we have gotten all the way out of the ditch. The Democrats and Republicans need to both push some more.”

Thankfully Ed persisted one more time.

“Do you reject the idea that your policies have us in reverse?”

BO: “Yes. When I arrived things were in free fall. They have stabilized. It would be hard to argue we are going backwards.”

Things have not gotten better. It is easy to argue we are moving forward unless one is a total imbecile incapable of reason. This is exactly what Barack Obama thinks of his political opponents. He simply declares the debate over by implying that no possible reasonable person could see things differently from him. Then after subtly demonizing his opponents (when not calling them enemies), he blathers about coming together.

BO: “We have to come together. It will not be easy. What other proposals do they have to grow the economy? What affirmative policies do they have to promote growth? I don’t think that tax cuts alone will be a recipe for the kind of expansion we need. From 2001-2003 we cut taxes, and I did not see the expansion. Disagree without being disagreeable.”

So we should all come together, but Republicans have no policies. The Bush tax cuts absolutely created an expansion. If they were so awful, way are Democrats scared of letting them expire? They worked. Stop attacking the Bush tax cuts falsely and then lecture us on being disagreeable. This man cannot stop the partisanship. Until somebody verbally clubs him over the head that the Bush tax cuts worked, he cannot move on to the second step of his 12 step pretend to get along with people program.

Hans Nichols, Bloomberg: “How do you hit the set reset button with business?”

BO: “The only way America succeeds is if businesses are succeeding. America has had unparalleled success because the free market is dynamic. It must be nurtured and cultivated. I have to make clear to the business community and country is that most important thing we can do is encourage the business sector and make sure they are hiring.”

You cannot make sure they are hiring. You cannot make them hire. You can get the heck out of the way. You can stop demonizing businesses. You can stop forcing them to take on crippling health care and environmental costs. You are anti-business. Businesses do not need you to nurture and cultivate them. They are not  a San Francisco marijuana clinic. You are not their daddy. They need to be left alone to nurture and cultivate their own employees. You keep saying that you think that people “feel” government is too intrusive. No, government actually is too intrusive.” Be quiet, cut taxes, sit down, and keep being quiet. That’s it.

Matt Spetalnick, Reuters: “Do you see the election as showing you are out of touch, and will there be any changes in your leadership style?”

BO: “There is an Inherent danger being in the White House, being in the bubble. Folks did not have any complaints about my leadership style when I was running around Iowa. They got a good look at me for a year. When you’re in this place, it is hard to not seem removed. I need to have that opportunity to engage with the American people on a day to day basis and give them confidence I am listening to them. I read those letters every night, some break my heart and provide inspiration, but nobody is filming me read those letters. A couple of great communicators, Reagan and Clinton, were standing at this podium 2 years in getting very similar questions. This is something every president goes through. Responsibilities of this office are so enormous.

Woe is me, I have it so tougb with my $400k salary, I am so oppressed, the job is so hard, woe is me, me, me, me, me, me. Does this man ever stop? He is a first rate crybaby. Man up!

Ronald Reagan lost 26 seats, while Bubba lost 54 and Obama about 65. Ronald Reagan did not kvetch and complain about the job. He was too busy doing the job. Reagan was a leader. Obama is a whiner. People “seem to think” he is detached. No, he is detached. He is cold, clinical, unemotional, and rivaling Dr Spock in terms of actual human compassion.

BO: “One thing I want to end on is that getting out of here is good for me too. I always come away from interactions feeling optimistic about this country. We have so many good and decent people finding ways to live together. The American people always make me optimistic. I have never doubted that we are going to emerge stronger than before.”

Well then treat all Americans, even those who disagree with you, with dignity.

I believed Barack Obama was capable of changing.

I was wrong.

Despite an election rejection of epic historical proportions, he still truly believes that everybody else is wrong, evil, and stupid while he is right, noble, and brilliant.

He is simply a pompous gasbag, and it will take another election to get rid of his arrogance and narcissism.

One Pelosiraptor down, one Vulcan to go.

eric

Yes we hope!

Change we can!

Blah blah blah!

Smoke a bowl!

Sorry, I was just doing my impersonation of young California voters, the only ones not taking part in the 2010 election in a rational sensible manner.

For the rest of Americans not spending their nights dreaming about touching themselves (while being too lazy to actually do it) while watching Jon Stewart , the crystal clear verdict is in.

The Republican avalanche seized the House and the Governorships, and came within a few thousand voting irregularities of taking back the Senate. State legislatures have shifted to the right.

ELECTION 2010. ALL TIMES PST

3PM: First exit polls in Indiana and Kentucky. Fox News has Bret Baier doing election coverage. Not Beck, O’Reilly, or Hannity, but Baier. This is because Fox News, a real network, separates its news division from its opinion division. MSNBC has Keith Obermann and Rachel Maddow doing the coverage, proving that they have zero interest in serious news coverage, preferring bigotry and rage. CNN has Wolf Blitzer, who is professional and fair.

In the race for governor of New Hampshire, one candidate had a 50 point lead, but apparently only 12 votes came in and the Democrat led 9 to 3. Leftists call this a mandate. I just hope these are not the same 12 people in Dix Hills Notch that people will obsess over in 2012 the way they obsess over that d@ng groundhog. If the liberals see their shadows, it means 6 more weeks until they are officially fired.

3:55PM Sir Charles of Krauthammer speaks. Instead of political arguments, the Democrats offered epithets. The American people are proud and clear eyed, and they don’t like being condescended to.

4PM: Polls close in Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, South Carolina, Virginia.

4PM: Dan Coats easily wins Indiana senate seat, a GOP pickup. Rand Paul, Jim Demint and Patrick Leahy all hold serve. No surprises.

4:03PM: Rachel Maddow attacks Rand Paul, which on MSNBC is called analysis. Chris Matthews chimes in while Fox News and CNN get over it and move on to actual news. Fox News Wendell Goler reports from the White House while MSNBC crazies still go after Paul, bringing in left-wing hatemonger Ed Schultz for “analysis.” Maddow blasts Evan Bayh for the GOP picking up Indiana.

4:10PM: Fox News, supposedly a right-wing hate site, announces that early voting shows Harry Reid doing very well.

4:20PM: Chris Matthews has lengthy interview with DNC big shot Tim Kaine. RNC Chair Michael Steele is not interviewed at this time, typical for the unfair, unbalanced network.

4:29PM: Wolf Blitzer properly pointed out that networks should not make projections until polls close, and clearly explains why raw exit poll data can be imprecise.

4:30PM Polls close in North Carolina, Ohio, and West Virginia.

4:30PM Rob Portman wins in Ohio, a senate GOP hold.

4:30PM Chris Matthews points out the Iowa has Tom Harkin and Chuck Grassley, an odd combination. Ohio offers Sherrod Brown and Rob Portman. It is interesting.

4:34PM: Anderson Cooper is an amateur in the handsome borderline pretty boy department compared to Bill Hemmer. No guy should be that perfect looking.

4:37PM: Madcow attacks Portman and Coats. Another MSNBC analyst looks like Niles Crane from tv show Frasier.

4:41PM: On MSNBC, a man gives a bear hug to an actual bear. Ok, this turns out to be a commercial.

4:42PM: MSNBC, CNN, and Fox News are all on commercial. I should bring out my 4th tv and put on the Spanish station like I did in 2004. I do not speak Spanish, but the female announcers are smoking hot. The Spanish station was the only one to get it right in 2004 because they were unbiased. What did they care? It was not their country. They did a better job than our networks did in the 1990s covering Luis Donaldo Colosio in Mexico (Ernesto Zedillo won).

4:44PM MSNBC “analyst” Michael Isikoff cries over outside money helping Paul. No mention of Obama or Clinton union or Chinese money. At the next commercial MSNBC analysts get their diapers changed.

4:49PM: No matter what Eliot Spitzer says, it is hard not to giggle, especially when he talks about the stimulus package. I want to hear him talk about environmental policy and how he can reduce emissions. In a hilarious coincidence, the other tv shows a preview for “Sex and the City.”

4:57PM: Juan Williams is on Fox News, because they actually allow diverse viewpoints. Also, every single MSNBC commentator appears to be a white male, including Maddow. This proves they are all racists. Fox News allows black people to speak.

5PM: Polls close in 15 states and DC. Now we get rolling.

5PM: Senate races come in. Chris Coons wins easily in Delaware. Wolf Blitzer makes a snide remark. Marc Rubio wins big in Florida. Kelly Ayotte wins in New Hampshire. Richard Shelby and Tom Coburn win in Oklahomand Alabama, not surprising. Barbara Mikulski wins. Maddow has an orgasm, although it is not sure if it is because she sexually desires Barbara Mikulski or Mr. Coons. Somehow she does not like Christine O’Donnell, who is much prettier. No changes to the power structure. The New Hampshire Governor’s race is called for the Democrat with him only up 50-48% early.

5:06PM: Roy Blount defeats Robin Carnahan in the Missouri senate race.

5:07PM: MSNBC analyst Howard Fineman laments the loss of moderate Republicans, while not showing concerns over moderate Democrats. Johnny Isaakson wins the Georgia Senate seat, a hold.

5:10PM: The Democrat wins the lone Delaware house seat, a pickup for the Democrats. Keith Olbermann bashes the Tea Party movement and Christine O’Donnell, as does Madcow. Graciousness does not exist with these cannibals. They make plans to burn her in the town square, to keep in line with the witch jokes.

5:20PM: MSNBC calls the North Carolina Senate race for Richard Burr, a retention that should not have been that close.

5:30PM: Polls close in Arkansas, and other states. As expected, John Boozman trounced Blanche Lincoln, the 2nd GOP pickup. The Democrat Governor of Arkansas won easily. Bill Haslam helped the Republicans retain the Tennessee Governorship.

5:34PM: Joe Manchin wins the West Virginia senate seat, a major hold for Democrats.

5:38PM: Alan Grayson lost his Florida House seat, a pickup for Republicans and a victory for those who prefer decency over hatred. Grayson called his opponent a member of the Taliban. Grayson is a vile human being, and the reason one term should not mean a lifetime pension. Some house scum just got removed. Daniel Webster is the new limestone.

6PM: Polls close in Texas, Colorado, Michigan, Wisconsin, New York, and other states. Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand retained their seats easily, and Andrew Cuomo did likewise as Governor. The nation moves right while the coasts move left. Gillibrand has to run again in 2012. Republicans easily win the North Dakota Senate seat, the 3rd GOP pickup. Sam Brownback wins the Kansas Governorship. Rick Snyder picks up the Michigan Governorship, the worst job in America and perhaps the only job left in Michigan under the destruction of Canadian Jennifer Granholm. John Thune won his South Dakota Senate seat, running unopposed, not normal for a senate race.

6:05PM–All 3 networks covering Rand Paul’s victory speech. To make matters worse, none of them are in sync, making for a triple echo. Paul comes out firing.

6:07PM–Rick Perry kept the Texas Governorship in GOP hands.

Maryland Democrats held their governorship, while Republicans took back theirs in Oklahoma.

6:12PM–Brett Baier projects Republicans winning 60 House seats to take control. 60 seconds later MSNBC does likewise, projecting 55 seats. CNN projects at least 50 only 4 minutes later.

6:20PM–Joe Manchin on all 3 networks as MSNBC begs their fellow liberals on the West Coast to not get discouraged and still go to the polls. They do not show such concern when Republican turnout gets depressed.

6:27PM–Louisiana Senator David Vitter retains his seat. Fox News calls Barney Frank the winner of his reelection bid. Only CNN covers the Marco Rubio speech from the beginning. He clearly gets it right when he says that “this is not a great victory for the Republican Party. It is a second chance.”

6:34PM–Johnny Isaakson easily wins the Georgia Senate seat, a retention. Keith Olbermann insults Christine O’Donnell right before her concession speech. As expected, she was as classy and dignified as Olbermann is hateful and vicious. Only Fox News does not cover her remarks at all.

6:42PM: Heineman retains the Nebraska GOP Governship.

6:50PM: Deval Patrick hangs on to the Massachusetts Governorship for the left.

6:57PM: Corbett wins the Pennsylvania Governship, a GOP pickup. The GOP with Haslam also picks up the Tennessee Governorship.

7PM: Nevada, Utah, Arizona, Montana, and Iowa polls close. John McCain and Chuck Grassley easily retain seats in Arizona and Iowa, not surprising. Iowa Governor Terry Branstadt is a GOP pickup. Matt Mead picks up the Wyoming Governorship for the GOP.

7:05PM–Rachel Maddow announces that she is 37 years old, which can be frightening for so many reasons. 5 minutes later she was still ranting.

7:09PM–Democrats hang on to the New Hampshire Governorship.

7:13PM–Chris Matthews tries to get Michele Bachmann to blunder on his show like last time. She did not take the bait. Matthews kept bullying, and Bachmann stayed on message. Matthews asked her if she was hypnotized, and under a trance. She responded that the people were coming out of their nightmare. Olbermann and Madcow laughed at the trance remarks, as if insulting people is the same as discussing policy. Matthews said she looked moronically, his typically moronic self. He was incensed that she kept treating his questions as irrelevant, which they were and he is.

7:18PM–John Hickenlooper won the Governorship in Colorado for the Democrats.

7:23PM–MSNBC’s Niles Crane accused Eric Cantor of fiscally letting the country crash, forgetting that the Pelosiraptor kept raising the debt ceiling. Eric Cantor told Keith Olbermann “what a pleasure it was to be on a night like tonight.” Olbermann nearly choked on it as he and Niles Crane kept complaining and Matthews kept pummeling Bachmann.

7:28PM–Geraldine Ferraro made some very gracious remarks about Sarah Palin, and Palin reciprocated. The assault on women candidates, almost always conservative ones, is out of control. Palin referred to those critics as “neanderthals.”

7:32PM–MSNBC is the first to call the South Carolina Governorship for Republican Nikki Haley seconds after gleefully showing a graph of candidates endorsed by Palin losing 5 to 2, with 32 undecided. Make that 5 to 3 with 31 undecided.

7:35PM–Norah O’Donnell starts cackling for some unknown reason, although nobody asks if she is  braindead bimbo in a trance. Only conservative women get that treatment. Mike Lee holds the Utah Senate seat for the GOP.

7:36PM–New Mexico Governship flips to the GOP under Susanna Martinez.

7:38pm–Ron Johnson defeats Russ Feingold for the GOP pickup of the Wisconsin Senate seat, the 4th switch.

7:40pm–Republicans keep the Utah Governship.

7:48PM–Republicans pick up the Wisconsin Governorship. MSNBC asked Arianna Huffington for her opinion, for mystifying reasons. She is also white, continuing the racist trend of punditry at MSNBC.

7:52PM–Longtime North Dakota House Democrat Earl Pomeroy went down.

7:58PM–Liberal Republican Joseph Cao went down after one term. Perhaps William Jefferson will find money in the freezer to finance a comeback in 2012.

8PM: Polls closed in California, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington.

8PM: In a shocker, Jerry Brown and Barbara Boxer are immediately declared winners on the liberal side by Fox News for Governor and Senator, respectively.  Butch Otter easily won reelection as Idaho Governor and Mike Crapo as Senator, both for Republicans.  Ron Wyden coasted to reelection to retain the Oregon Senate seat for the Democrats.

8:08PM–Democrats eke out a win in the Connecticut Governor’s race, a flip.

8:12PM–Former NFL star John Runyan won as a Republican a New Jersey House seat in a tight race. MSNBC announces that Republican Michele Bachmann of Minnesota was reelected as the analysts went into full meltdown mode.

8:14PM–Irregularities in Nevada in terms of power failures near Las Vegas and long lines in Elko. Sharron Angle should be very worried.

8:18PM–A company named ACORN makes stairlifts for seniors. I remain suspicious.

8:19PM–Republicans held the Alabama Governorship. MSNBC was the only network gleefully showing Carl Paladino’s entire concession speech in an attempt to tar the entire GOP.

8:25PM–Reed beat Zeller for a GOP New York House seat pickup, making the state less pathetic than California. Liberal independent Chafee won the Rhode Island Governorship over a Republican 36 to 34%. The Democrat who told Obama to shove it got shoved into last. MSNBC talked to Ed Rendell for about 15 minutes.

8:34PM–The Politico called the Pennsylvania Governor’s race for Pat Toomey over Joe Sestak, and the Alan West Florida Congressional race both for Republicans, but none of the 3 cable news networks did.

8:38PM–RNC Chairman Michael Steele shows a Time Magazine cover from last year declaring Republicans an endangered species.

8:40PM–John Boehner spoke. He will be the next House Speaker, although the Pelosiraptor for once in her life was silent and hiding somewhere. Boehner gets choked up and cries when saying that he has “spent his entire life chasing the American Dream. Working every rotten job, working every night shift I could find, pouring my heart and soul into a small business. He thanked his 11 brothers and sisters. Keith Olbermann took the poignant moment and made a joke about Dan Akroyd and chortled in enjoying Barbara Boxer’s win.

8:45PM–Fox News calls Colonel Allen West the winner in Florida.

8:51PM–Ed Schultz focused on the outside money for Sharron Angle, ignoring the avalanche of late dollars for Harry Reid. Fair and honest by MSNBC standards.

8:52PM–John Kasich finally declared Governor of Ohio for Republicans over incumbent Ted Strickland.

8:53PM–Rudy Giuliani pointed out that “the vote, especially in places like Ohio, was a rejection of Barack Obama. The House race was every part of the country, while the Senate was only 1/3 of the country. This is not an unclear election. It was a clear message. If anything was rejected, it was Obamacare. We will find out tomorrow if Obama is an ideologue or a pragmatist. If he is an ideologue, he is finished.”

9PM: Polls close in Hawaii. Daniel Inouye was reelected Senator of Hawaii for the Democrats for the 8 billionth time. At age 86 he is the Junior Senator.

9:02PM: Sir Charles of Krauthammer speaketh. The rest of the tvs muted. This should happen worldwide. “The Obama agenda is dead. The only question is how much will be repealed and how much he will be willing to concede. Republicans will not win the Senate but will have de facto control. In 2 years Jim Webb in Virginia will be up for reelection, and Democrats will not be willing to walk the plank for Obama. For Republicans, it works well for 2012 strategy. You don’t want both houses of congress because then Obama can be like Harry Truman and attack the do nothing Congress. After extraordinary events, we are now returning to the norm. The map has returned to what has looked like for the last 30 years. 2006 and 2008 were aberrations to historical events, a war and a financial collapse. Obama has tried a 2 year experiment in hyper-liberalism and the country said no. Can a man of the left even try or pretend to go to the center? For the next 2 years he will try to do his liberalism through regulation, through the agencies. The EPA will approve environmental regulations that he would never get through Congress. The next 2 years will be small ball and skirmishing before the 2012 election.”

9:08PM: Pat Toomey won the nailbiter Pennsylvania Senate race for the 5th GOP pickup. This was a blow to the anti-Semites and self-loathing Jews  at J-Street. Fox News called it.

9:13PM: Israel lovers saw the anti-Jewish vote lose again as Mark Kirk survived in the Illinois Senate race for the 6th GOP pickup.  MSNBC called it. This was President Obama’s Senate seat. It was also Roland Burris’s seat.

9:15PM: Nikki Haley spoke with only Fox News covering it. “We are turning the page on where we have been, but the history is going to be on where we go. My goal was always to get you to care.” She offered very classy remarks to her defeated challenger.

9:18PM: Karl Rove: What a rebuke to the President and a needless loss in Illinois. Had they held a special election, that person would have had 2 years to ingratiate themselves to the voters. Instead Blagojevich engineered Roland Burris which led to Gionoulias.

9:18PM: Pat Toomey thanked the love of his life, his wife and mother of his children.

9:23PM: Joe Sestak spoke, with only his sycophants at MSNBC covering the concession speech. He did not offer anything for Toomey representing class.

9:27PM: Fox News, again the supposedly right wing network despite being the only one with balanced political panels, called the Nevada Senate race for Harry Reid over Sharron Angle. The Democrats retained the seat and officially held their Senate majority.

9:35PM: Bryan Sandoval was declared Governor of Nevada for the Republicans, and Jan Brewer was reelected as the GOP Governor of Arizona.

9:39PM: Republicans officially won the House. The Pelosiraptor has officially been fired.

9:43PM: Madcow spoke about the total collapse of the GOP in Nevada while forgetting that Democrats lost virtually everywhere else across America. Madcow then called Sharron Angle a racist. She was also called flaky. Remember, this is what MSNBC calls analysis. As for the Latino vote abandoning Republicans, Republican Governor Elect Bryan Sandoval is Latino. MSNBC never kets facts or logic interfere with leftist bile. Bill Richardson called Republicans anti-immigrant.

9:48PM: Larry Sabato said he has seen hundreds of state legislators switching to Republicans. “75% of it is because of the rotten economy. This is the best year Republicans have had in the midterm since World War II.”

9:55PM: Republicans pick up at least 3 House seats in New York. Proposition 19 fails in California, a victory for anti-druggies over stoners and slackers. Maybe now college students will finally leave here for good so we can convert the campuses into prisons since the criminals are already there. I can dream.

9:58PM: Liberal pollster Pat Caddel admitted that “passing Obamacare in the way it was passed was a crime against democracy.”

10PM: Polls close in Alaska. Write in votes, most likely for Lisa Murkowski, were ahead. The race might not be decided until November 18th. Murkowski would caucus with the Republicans, so that is a retained seat with her or Joe Miller, since the Democrat trailed badly in third in he great tradition of Kendrick Meek. Senate Republicans were very smart not to take away Murkowski’s committee chairmanships in the Senate. Otherwise, she could have exacted retribution in the same way Charlie Crist would have caucused with the Democrats.

10:11PM: Nathan Deal wins the Georgia Governorship for the GOP.

10:13PM: A pair of House seats in Wisconsin flip to the GOP.

10:15PM: Liberal analyst Kirsten Powers said that regarding compromise, “Obama, unlike Bill Clinton, is not built for this.”

10:17PM: For the 100th time tonight, it was simply fun to say that in South Carolina, Alvin Greene is not going to be Senator. The MSNBC people chortling over Sharron Angle and Christine O’Donnell, both lovely human beings, seem to be silent on felon Democrat Alvin Greene.

10:22PM: Ed Schultz complains about where Michele Bachmann has her victory party.

10:26PM: Leftist Joe Trippi, in talking about the Democrats getting shellacked, said about Obama that “at some point he has got to realize that this was because of him.” David Schweikert picked up an Arizona House seat for the GOP.

10:49PM Voting irregularities created a mess and again shockingly enough favor the Democrat.

10:50PM: Harry Reid came out classless. “Today Nevada chose hope over fear, moving forward, not backward.” All 3 cable news networks covered it. He did not mention Sharron Angle.

11PM: MSNBC announces that “the big story is that Harry Reid wins, and the Senate stays in Democratic control.” The Earthquake in the House gets lower billing.

11:03PM: Jerry Brown speaks, and only CNN covers it from the beginning. “They haven’t counted all the votes yet, but hell, it’s good enough for government work.” Yes, this is liberalism in California. He spoke about renewable energy and education, not mentioning one word about making California business friendly. He spoke about bipartisanship, and he seemed sincere despite not mentioning Meg Whitman.

11:14PM: A Republican is invited on to the panel on MSNBC after only 8 hours of coverage.

11:16PM: Carly Fiorina came out and celebrated the Republican sweep, mentioning John Boehner twice. Only afterward did she mention the Republicans getting trounced in the once Golden State.  Only CNN carried the initial remarks, and MSNBC missed them altogether.   Yet despite the fact that all 3 networks called the race, Fiorina did not concede.  “36% of the vote has been counted, and we are in a dead heat tie. It is too close to call. For all those people who already declared this race, maybe that was not a smart thing to do. It’s going to be a long night.”

11:19PM: Shockingly enough, MSNBC immediately went to cover Barbara Boxer in her imbecilic entirety. She immediately declared victory. She twice told the people to “listen up.” She said that the reason she went into politics was to make life better for the people she represents. Lord help us all. Never one to be gracious,  she claimed that her opponents were shadowy special interests while her supporters were small donors. Now she can get back to doing nothing for the next 6 years. She invoked the World Series in an idiotic manner.

11:27PM: An email from Josh Mandel in Ohio confirmed that he won the Ohio race for Treasurer for the GOP.

11:32PM: According to TEXAS GOP Vote on Facebook, rising star Pastor Edward Broden did not unseat Bernice Johnson as the Democrats retained that seat. Yet Republican Bill Flores did knock out longtime incumbent Chet Edwards, a GOP pickup.

11:37PM:  Meg Whitman spoke, with only Fox News covering the remarks at all. She had already called Jerry Brown and conceded, and encouraged all of California to come together. She said that “tomorrow, we are all Californians.”

11:41PM: Neil Abercrombie comfortably defeated Duke Aiona for the Hawaii Governorship, a pickup for the Democrats to replace retiring Republican Linda Lingle.

11:50PM: Michael Barone is breaking down every single household in every corner of the world, even where they do not have houses. I am not sure how he does it.

11:52PM: J-Streeter Jan Schakowsky defeated Joel Pollak in awful news for lovers of Israel and a retention for the far left.

11:57PM: Canseco took down Rodriguez for a Texas House seat, a GOP pickup. Neither of these men play pro baseball.

11:58PM: The Colorado Senate race and Florida Governor’s race were razor thin contests with the Republicans leading both but neither resolved. In Virginia, Democrat Gerry Connolly led Republican challenger Keith Fimian by a razor thin margin, a few hundred votes. The Democrat also had a microscopic lead in the Minnesota Governor’s race to replace Republican Tim Pawlenty. Former New York Knicks basketball player and Republican Chris Dudley led longtime Democratic incumbent John Kitzhaber in what would be a major upset in the Oregon Governor’s race that was too close to call. Nothing was announced in the Hawaii Congressional seat currently held by Republican Charles Djou. Raul Labrador led incumbent Walt Minnick in an Idaho Congressional race for a GOP pickup by 50-41%, although it was not official at this time.

11:59pm: Local media in Arizona finally declared Democrat Raul Grijalva the winner of his incumbent seat against strong challenger Republican Ruth McClung.

12:05AM: Lisa Murkowski claims victory with none of the networks calling the race. Then her supporters started chanting “Yes, We Can,” which is not something Republicans, even liberal ones, should be blathering.

12:07AM: Sharron Angle gave a speech that was conciliatory, but not a complete concession. For some reason, CNN replayed Harry Reid’s victory speech while Angle was speaking.

12:33AM: James Oberstar was elected in the Democratic wave in 1974 after Watergate. The Minnesota Congressman was trailing by 1% with 92% in.

12:35AM: MSNBC desperately needed something to hang on to, so they decided to interview Barbara Boxer. She described 2 Republicans breaking ranks and crossing over as an example of bipartisanship. She doesn’t get it and will never get it. She then got combative about health care, all of a sudden defending the bill in a way she never did during the campaign. She then brought up the secret donations again. An ounce of class is beyond her.

12:43AM: With 86% in, the Los Angeles Palestinian Times has Republican Dan Lungren holding on to his seat 50-43%. With 88% reporting, Republican challenger David Harmer led Democratic incumbent Jerry McNerney 48-47%. Neither race was called.

12:47AM: On MSNBC, Adam Green of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee said Democrats lost because they did not fight hard enough for progressive policies such as a public option and breaking up the big banks. Just once I wish a leftist imbecile would not be Jewish. I am so tired of apologizing for my own people.

12:53AM: Most of the California races were blowouts for the incumbents. A moderately close race that did not involve a switch had incumbent Democrat Loretta Sanchez fending off Van Tran 51-42% with 74% in. Republicans saw incumbent Mary Bono Mack leading 53-40% with 51% counted. The safe seats that are so bad for Democracy will continue with Jerrymander Brown drawing districts again, as long as can get around another Democratically elected proposition preventing this. All he needs is one liberal Judge that he has appointed or will appoint, and that redistricting commission blocking him is toast.

1:02AM: Bob Seger wrote the song beautiful loser. In the case of Republican challenger Jill Rowland in New York, the song should be renamed to drop dead beautiful loser. My lord her husband is one lucky man. She is stunning.

1:05AM: The MSNBC announcer got confused between a recall and a recount. If a Republican had done this it would have been a Federal case, most likely pursued by Eric Holder.

1:20AM: With 99% reporting, Democrat Pat Quinn is in the fight of his life to retain his Illinois Governorship, leading by literally a few hundred votes.

1:36AM: By 50-49%, Republicans have captured the Connecticut Governor’s mansion. This one is final.

1:38AM: By 38-37%, the Republican Gubernatorial candidate led the Independent with only 89% in. This is not final, and Maine has a strong independent tradition, with Angus King winning in recent years and Ross Perot getting 30% to finish second in 1992. The Democrat was in third in this race.

Big Ears speaks at 10AM PST, Hillary is hiding in Asia, and the Peloiraptor is hiding, although nobody is looking for her. Her silence is refreshing.

9:30AM: A friend from the Garland County Republican Party in Arkansas calls to tell me that the “Paint Arkansas Red Rally” I spoke at got the desired results and beyond. Conservative but voting Democrat since reconstruction, the Republicans won 20 of 21 local races. They lost one race by 5 votes and are seeking a recount. It was a (blue)bloodbath.I apologized again for living in California. Congratulations to the fine people of Garland County.

9:30AM: Alex Sink conceded the Florida Governor’s race, immediately making Republican Rick Scott one of the top 10 Powerful Bald White Guys of 2010. That list gets published in late December. His performance in office will determine whether he makes the list in 2011.

10AM: President Obama held a one hour press conference. Unlike Bill Clinton, who in 1994 said, “I get the message,” Mr. Obama never did. He remained obtuse, refusing to in any way concede that he remotely is part of the problem. He blamed his predecessor, and insisted he was making progress. His entire remarks will be dissected tomorrow, because they go to the heart of his rigidly inflexible ideological leftist mindset.

11AM: Monica Crowley pointed out that he blew his political capital spending an entire year on healthcare instead of jobs. He still will not extend all of the Bush tax cuts. Bill Clinton admitted that he should have done welfare reform before healthcare reform. Mr. Obama cannot make such concessions out of narcissism. Nothing in his character to suggest moderation. There is a difference between listening to ideas and actually absorbing those ideas.

I will now do my impression of singer Lady Blah Blah, minus the Gaga wearing of meat.

“Are you listening President Obama? Are you listening????!!!!!!!!!”

No. He is not listening.

11:15AM: Democrat Michael Bennett declared victory in the Colorado Senate race despite no news organizations doing so. Why? Because liberals do this. The goal is to create inevitability so people get bored. Look for the left to use their tired cliche about how we should all just “move on,” which is code for, “we have a lead, cancel the rest of the clock.”

11:17AM: Pat Caddell: “Among Democrats favoring repeal of the healthcare bill, 36% voted Republican. Among independents favoring repeal, by 86-9% they voted Republican. The American people want it repealed, and he seems entirely tone deaf.”

12:41PM: Indiana Republican Mike Pence, who won easily and is a national star, is resigning his leadership post (while staying in Congress). This is the first volley of 2012.

The left can spin this election any way they want. The right destroyed them.

Let them celebrate a wounded Harry Reid and Barbara Boxer accomplishing nothing. The Pelosiraptor is fired. That is the story.

Republicans won big, picking up over 65 House seats and 6-8 Senate seats, in addition to a bunch of Governorships and state legislatures.

Oh yes, and the Pelosiraptor is fired.
