I heard this quote on the radio yesterday, but this is the first I have finally seen it in print:
Krauthammer: 'Obama Agenda is Dead,' 'He Tried a 2-Year Experiment in Hyper-Liberalism and the Country Has said No'
“I think that the message is unmistakable that the Obama agenda is dead,” Krauthammer said on the Fox News Channel’s early morning coverage on Nov 3. “The question is how much of it is going to be repealed and how much will Obama be willing to concede. It’s clear as you projected the house is going to be Republican. I think what is going to happen is the Republicans are not going to win the Senate.”
But Krauthammer explained the GOP didn’t necessarily have to control the Senate to move legislation through.
“But I think they're going to have de facto control of the Senate in the sense that there were going to be several Democratic senators that are going to be up for re-election in two years,” he continued. “I'm thinking of a Jim Webb from Virginia. I’m thinking of some of the others. There are going to be more Democrats up for re-election than Republicans in two years in the Senate, and they’re looking at the fate of those Democrats who went with the president with his agenda and walked the plank and are now gone, and they're not going to go. And I think there will be great resistance in the Senate to any advance of the Obama agenda.”

Now, I don't know if I entirely agree with this summation. I think Obama isn't going to give up that easy. I think he is going to try every trick in book to get around Congress and force his agenda on the country.
If he means that Obama's hopey changey myth with the country is dead, I totally agree. Only the completely delusional still believe in Obama's myth. Everyone else knows Obama is a fraud.
But does it mean Obama's efforts to force his agenda is dead? Not by long shot. He's going to try every devious shenanigan he can try.
It all depends on how willing the Republicans are to stand up to Obama. Whether they will hold firm against Obama's agenda, or go all wobbly, as the Republican party is wont to do.
This is where WE come in. The election is not the end of our effort. We have to hold the Republican's freaking feet to the fire.
It's going to be a struggle day by day to let the GOP majority know they BETTER get their act together and stop Obama every way they can OR THEY ARE JUST AS GONE IN TWO YEARS AS THE DEMOCRATS.
It will be time for a new party and to watch the Republican party go the way of the do do.
