No time for collaboration

By Bill Wilson – So, what have we learned from the most fractious Presidential election of my lifetime? We have learned that if you put $1 billion behind a campaign of cynicism, racial division, class warfare, and extreme pettiness an incumbent with one of the worst records in modern times can barely squeak into a second term. And with such a narrow and demeaning “win,” what exactly does Barack Obama think he has achieved?

 

Well, to paraphrase Ronald Reagan, he gets nice public housing for another four years. And, of course, there will be plenty of golf and parties and trips. But what does he hope to achieve for the American people, what does he think this campaign of small-things gets him?

 

The answer, oddly enough, is not in his hands. Under normal circumstances, a re-elected President can direct the debate. He has set out an agenda or has done so well in the first term that the country simply wants “more of the same.” Nobody – and I mean nobody – wants four more years of the same inane, vapid socialism of Obama’s first term. But, if Obama cannot determine the course we take, who does?

 

That answer is yet to be decided. The reason the issue is in doubt is because we do not yet know what the Republicans in Congress will do.
