A little perspective on Obama and the Dems

All right, maybe I was a little harsh on Obama.

So, just to show I can play both sides of this game, let’s play a little headline juxtaposition:

New York Times:

Some Democrats Are Sensing Missed Opportunities

That’s bad! 🙁

Political forecaster Charlie Cook:

“The Democrats do have a real shot at ending the GOP’s control of the House.”

That’s good! 🙂

A whole buncha polls:

Democrats beat GOP in general preference for who should control Congress.

That’s good! 🙂

Generic congressional preference polls are worth a bucket of warm spit (margin of error: +/- 5 oz of spittle).

That’s bad. 🙁

The polls are cursed.

That’s bad. 🙁

Etc. etc. But, you know, despair springs eternal when you’re a DC Dem.
