Wet blanket alert!!!!
We traded Harry Reid for Mitch McConnell. What exactly did we gain?
McConnell has, on multiple occasions expressed his outright hatred of the Tea Party. He has, and will continue to do everything in his power to crush their momentum within the Republican Party.
We changed a lot of seats in the House and Senate, but the leadership will remain the same. Therefore I see no change. Maybe all the bills on Reids desk may make it to the floor, but the Republican leadership in the Senate does not have the spine for stopping the Obama train wreck. They themselves are to heavily invested in most of the mess.
I predict that, for now, the Republican leadership will consolidate their power, and then do nothing meaningful with it. They will not allow the Freshmen into the committees, and will do their best to keep them locked in the closet for fear of being labeled "extreme". In the meantime BHO is going to floor it over the cliff with his pen and his phone. He has nothing to lose at this point, and we all know how much he cares about congress.
I really hope I'm wrong.........
