Dems lost in Wisconsin b/c Obama stayed out of it.
LOL! They were going to lose as they had no relevent reason for a recall. BO wisely avoided further disgrace that would have come had he campaigned and the inevitable loss came anyway.
I think Obama himself said that he was a blank screen. Sometime around Dec 07/Jan 08 I saw something by David Friedman (Milton's son) expressing guarded optimism about how Obama would turn out. Nobody really knew exactly where he stood. Was he a traditional far-lefty a la George McGovern? Or a lefty evolved to centrist a la Clinton? Or a lefty who could go centrist when forced by political reality, but who would revert back left when the coast was clear? Or just a guy who was no longer concerned about ideology, only about power?
Now in 2012, Pres Obama is still as much of an enigma as he was in 2007. His foreign policy especially has surprised me; it's just the W Bush policy with small tweaks.
17 trillion and 10% unemployment plus 2 more wars.
champagne tastes and an empty wallet.

our congress has approved every penny of debt
time to take the credit cards away
Obama is the leader of the democrat party, which has lurched so far left we now are seeing a far reaching repudiation of their ideas and policies.
I remember the pundits claiming after the 2008 elections that liberalism/democrats would rule for the next 30 years.
But once the American people got a load of exactly what these progressives led by obama were really up to, that "transformation" got stopped in it's tracks with the 2009, 2010 and 2012 elections.
Article from Aug 2011..but boy, does it apply even more today.
Conservative should thank obama/liberals for bringing them back in from the wilderness..due to their policies, ideas and behavior that is so out of touch with the vast majority of Americans.
Please look up the exit poll for people who voted for Walker AND who will vote for Obama in Nov.

Obama stayed out of it because it was known that it was a losing battle and Obama didn't want saddled with that.
Scopro was right earlier though. Romney will win, he will continued the long held practice of doing stupid things as president giving life back to the left.
