Princess Pelosi wants to celebrate the accomplishments of the 111th Congress tomorrow afternoon. Talk about hubris. Pelosi leads the congress into one of the worse political drubbings in history, and she wants to throw a party? Could her tenure as Speaker have a more bizarre ending?
Perhaps we should do a little bit of celebrating right here, genuflecting and giving thanks for all that Nancy Pelosi and her precious Democrats did in the 111th Congress. The $787 billion stimulus, for example. Hooray for turtle tunnels! ObamaCare, which will now cost the tax payers money, increase drug costs and premium rates and place undue burdens on small businesses. Hooray! Whenever I visit the DMV, I always wish that my doctor's office ran just as efficiently and with such great customer service. But perhaps the greatest gift of all, from Nancy Pelosi's 111th Congress has been the 21% increase in federal spending over the last two years. In 2010, Congress spent $3.45 trillion, which was the second largest spending spree on record ... second only to the spending spree of the 111th Congress in 2009.
What does Nancy Pelosi have to celebrate other than the fact that her leadership brought about the biggest party loss in Congress in 72 years. Pelosi should not be celebrating, she should be telling the movers where to send the boxes.
I hope this isn't read by any Democrat members of the House. The absolute best thing that could happen for America - now that the Republicans have control of the House - is for the Democrats to make this woman the minority leader. Do it! Please! Do it!

Obama Lovefest Gone

Mort Zuckerman: America's Love Affair With Obama Is Over
The administration is running out of time to lower unemployment and fix the economy
By Mortimer B. Zuckerman November 5, 2010
It was the worst of times for the Democrats and the best of times for the Republicans—almost. The GOP did not succeed in capturing the Senate, or dethroning the Democratic leader, but with an energy boost from the Tea Party movement it certainly reflected the anger and dismay of voters who see their country foundering at home and abroad.
The results represent a sharp rebuke to President Obama, who interpreted his 2008 "vote for change" as a mandate for changing everything and all at once. Right from the start, he got his priorities badly wrong, sacrificing the need to help create jobs in favor of his determination to pass Obamacare. It was the state of the economy that demanded genius and concentration, and it just did not get it. The president will now have to respond to public anger, not with anger management and, not, please God, with still more rhetoric. The unusually revealing exit polls spell it all out—how he re-energized the Republican Party, lost the independent center, and failed to overcome the widespread sense that the country is heading in the wrong direction.
The exit polls conducted by Edison Research for the National Election Pool show that the economy was the dominant issue, rated at 62 percent, while healthcare was only at 18 percent. Minority voters remained loyal (9 in 10 blacks and 2 in 3 among Hispanics), but everywhere else Obama was deserted. Independents and women fled the Democrats; among white women, no less than 57 percent chose the GOP. There are some surprises for the conventional wisdom. The case for creating more jobs by government spending was rated within a hair's breadth of reducing the deficit (37 percent to 39 percent) and opinion was evenly divided (33 to 33) on whether the stimulus had hurt or helped the economy. Voters registered their disapproval of Democratic control of Congress and of what the White House promised but failed to deliver. It is apparent that Obama didn't seem to have understood the problems of the average American.
