This is a truly great article, and I didn't even read it.. the opener says it all:

The real confidence crisis

Obama and the Democrats have to face that they're the party of government, and make government work She's exactly right.. She's got the kind of common sense that our President, all of his hordes of advisers, and the rest of the liberal media (a substantial number) are lacking.

She knows that selling policies is like selling a car.. and what Obama and his pals are peddling is a clunker.

Government is broken. Government is broke. Government doesn't work.. It's a fucking mess.. All of their institutions are collapsing, and to sell more of the same as a remedy is foolish.

If you want to sell big government, you're going to have to make sure people want to buy it.

They haven't done that.. And so, there's a crisis of confidence in them and their solutions.

It's not Bush's fault.. It's their own.. They are reduced to peddling austerity.

Fix government, reform your institutions (If you can) and perhaps THEN people will be willing to listen to you?

Obama staked his presidency on a debt-ceiling deal that would stave off the disaster of default, and after an epic battle, Democrats compromised almost completely with Tea Party crazies who held the economy hostage. LOL!

WOW........no one can blame-shift like a lib.

I've heard so much shit about the Tea Party........

I thought they were a small group of redneck racists, who were all broke and failures........how can they hold the dims hostage? And didn't the dims have COMPLETE control for 2 years......

lmao......

Yes, Dims are the Party of Government.

[alfredtaniypnx]

One thing I'll say for the libs......

NO One.....can pass the buck, and blame others for their fails, like a lib.

[posimoka]

The only thing the president hasn't tried, to solve our nation's escalating problems, is governing like a Democrat.
LMAO!!!!!!!!!

Oh, but he has.

[Foucceedo]

The opening blub has it right, though.. They ARE the party of big government..

And they'll have to make big government humm like a ferrari if they want to be taken seriously.

[artkolkovk]

WHO WOULD WANT TO BE A FACTORY FARM CHICKEN?

[ballingham]

They're trying to be half pregnant here.. They want to be FDR, but they're scared of openly advocating big government programs on the scale that he did.

Stop running, libs.. If you're going to be big gov, then you should be honest about it and you should make it work.

Stop talking about free market solutions like you desire them.. Do what you do best.

Go for it!

[infinkPoode]

OWN IT!!!

Make it your own!!

Pussies.

[Caregrasy]

Be the man FDR was.. If you think that is what people want, stop pussyfooting around.

If you want to be the party of big government, you're going to have to make it work.

Maybe the Tea Party and right wing zealots (who are according to libs, less than 2% of the pop), have them held hostage??

LMAO....

OWN IT YOU LIBERAL D-BAGS!!!
