Well I guess the political director for CBS news confirms they are completely behind Obama. It also sounds like a call to transform this nation into a totalitarian government. John Dickerson wrote:
"The president who came into office speaking in lofty terms about bipartisanship and cooperation can only cement his legacy if he destroys the GOP. If he wants to transform American politics, he must go for the throat."
The MSM media has abandoned even the slightest pretense of being anything but Obama supporters. They are openly devoted to wiping out conservatives, constitutionalists and others who oppose Obama's restructuring of America and it is dangerous.
Of course, the GOP gained control of the House in the first place because of the Tea Party.
The TP gained seats when it became apparent to the public that this recession (thank you, GOP) was a lot deeper than than almost anyone realized. The TP/GOP ran on a promise to make "job creation" their top priority. A promise they immediately discarded. What they've done instead is block all attempts at recovery.
Maybe you've missed the fact that their approval ratings are in the toilet.

Guessing is what you do when you don't or won't know.

I don't recall Obama ever putting a budget proposal on the table before and after the 2010 elections so jobs could be created. Also what the GOP brought to the table several times, Obama, Reid and the other Dems refused to have a bipartisan approach to it in order to come up with a agreeable budget and jobs proposal. They wouldn't talk. It caused our triple A credit rating to be downgraded.

Let's see who was responsible for the credit downgrade...in the words of the highest ranking GOP senator no less:
Having seen what the dems can do years past when they dominated the presidency, House-Senate, its something I'm not looking forward to at all if the republicans fall. We need balance. I do not believe the Tea Party is all that powerful, after all there is no "Tea Party". Something else is pulling the strings and what ever it is its deflecting on purpose, as a strategy perhaps. The Republican party better get a grip.

The Republican party is imploding before our eyes. We actually would be best served by far more than 2 credible parties. Hopefully, as in the post Whig party era, new parties will form.

Just on Face the Nation this morning all parties talked about how Obama needs to stop the in your face attitude to get anything done. He is going to talk at his Inauguration about how he is going to bring the country together. All agreed this morning that won't happen unless he adopts the same attitude all prior Democrat and Republican Presidents have adopted--I won but let's get to a good place together.

Hmmm, dunno about the ''desireability'' of that part Bob... didn't that era also include the infamously xenophobic No Nothings, and later the Civil War?!
