Actually it is setting in earlier than I thought.  Usually by year 6 the president is functionally irrelevant.  If he loses sequestration he becomes irrelevant much earlier than that.

Because he's such a novice and convinced of his own superiority, I am certain that a) Obama was convinced he couldn't lose the sequester fight and b) didn't realize how much political capital he was staking on an unimportant fight. (Of course, we have yet to see if he will suffer any loss of credibility after he loses... IF he loses. I have a great deal of faith in the ability of the Republicans to screw this up.)

The "cool" people voted for Obama this time only because they were convinced McRomney was the DEVIL. *(Sort of the same as: we don't have a plan, we just don't like your plan) They didn't vote FOR Obama this time. I don't think the Obama's realize that.

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

The Rs will screw it up ... but in the court of public opinion Obama can't lose as long as the media covers for him ...  :cool:

 ^^Switch Obama with Romney/Republican and it will still hold true.

Never vote for whom you like (that's throwing your vote away), vote against whom you do not like... it's the American waaaaaay!
