Pat Oliphant for June 08, 2010

If the November’s mid-term Congressional elections do not continue the majority in both Houses of Congress that Obama enjoys now, the right-wing agenda for Congressional legislation will supercede and the right-wing obstructionism that we have witnessed and observed in the past 2 years will be nothing compared to what will happen in the last 2 years of Obama’s first-term administration and he will effectively be a “lame-duck’ President. He will be ‘lame-ducked” by the conservative right-wingers, something they have tried by default to be in lieu of not being in charge, in power instead. You are seeing the results of this in “The Great Recession”, a recession like that of Japan from 1987 into the 21st century. This could happen here with the advent of the Baby Boomer generation retiring from now thru the next 20 years in the Social Security and state retirement rolls. This November is prophetic as to what America wants to do with its future–which direction to go and what transformation to take.
