As usual, I think you are right on the mark. The arrogance of the current leadership is as concerning a political reality as anything I can recall. The focus on healthcare reform at a time when "it's the economy stupid" couldn't be more clear is coming back to bite them. Pelosi and her cronies continue to try and resuciate a public optioned healthcare reform even when Obama himself made it a last priority and 5 minute discussion in his SOTU unscores their arrogance that they seem to know better what we need or want. The unwillingness to accept the "governing from the center" that has been successful in past administrations on both sides of the aisle will continue to polarize constituents until, as Patty rightly comments those constituents take them to task. It won't happen too soon for me. Exceptional analysis Pop. As usual, I think you are right on the mark.

The focus on healthcare reform at a time when “it’s the economy stupid” couldn’t be more clear is coming back to bite them. Pelosi and her cronies continue to try and resuciate a public optioned healthcare reform even when Obama himself made it a last priority and 5 minute discussion in his SOTU unscores their arrogance that they seem to know better what we need or want.

Ironic that you wrote this the day before the huge upset in Massachusetts. Clearly, even the most liberal state in the country has had enough. I saw many interviews with voters last night who voted for Obama in 2008 and voted for Brown yesterday because they want to send a message to Washington that enough is enough. They are tired of the runaway spending and the backroom politics, the abuse of power with bribes and special favortism to their supporters. In other words, they are tired of the arrogance of power. The real interesting thing at this point is will the Obama administration, Reid and Pelosi, finally realize that this power and arrogance has to stop. Unfortunately, I don't think they will.
