RedState: Throwing Barack Obama Under the Bus

By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | October 8th, 2014 at 04:30 AM

 

People have been expendable to Barack Obama for a very long time. As soon as they become inconvenient to him, they meet the underside of the Obama bus.

 

Barack Obama is now about to meet the underside of Hillary Clinton’s bus. The only chance Hillary Clinton has of winning in 2016 is to blame shift to Barack Obama and sacrifice him for the good of the party.

 

Leon Panetta has begun the process.

 

We know what’s going on, but it is important to understand why it is happening.

 

The historic odds of one party holding the White House for three consecutive terms is very low. The George H. W. Bush victory of 1988 was an anomaly that gave Reagan, in effect, a third term. It does not often happen. It certainly does not happen when the economy is bad.

Hard to take the rest of the article seriously after reading this. Bush I hated Reagan's policies, and ran away from them as fast as he could once he was inaugurated.

How Unpopular Is Barack Obama? More Unpopular Than You Think

National approval/disapproval polls have shown President Obama consistently under water for some time, but the numbers are even worse when viewed state by state. Liberals–generally speaking, Obama’s last defenders–are heavily concentrated in a few large states; in fact, within certain urban areas in those states. When those states are taken out of the picture, the result is truly bleak for Obama and the Democrats.

This is one basic reason why, as Jake Tapper reports, “even some Democratic operatives struggle to imagine a scenario where they retain control of the U.S. Senate.” The president is an “albatross” around Senate Democrats’ necks.

 

Currently, a number of Republican Senate candidates are under-running voters’ dissatisfaction with the Obama administration. But that dissatisfaction makes it likely that undecided voters will break against Democratic candidates rather than in their favor. This election won’t be what it could have been, but for now, it is shaping up well for Republicans.
