Posting this today so we can come back to it later to say, "We told you so!"

When the Obama administration crashes and burns, with approval ratings that fall through the floor, political scientists can trace its demise to its first hundred days. While Americans are careful not to consign a presidency they desperately need to succeed to the dustbin of history, the fact is that this president has moved — on issue after issue — in precisely the opposite direction of what the people want him to do.

Right now, Obama’s ratings must be pleasing to his eye. Voters like him and his wife immensely and approve of his activism in the face of the economic crisis. While polls show big doubts about what he is doing, the overwhelming sense is to let him have his way and pray that it works.

But beneath this superficial support, Obama’s specific policies run afoul of the very deeply felt convictions of American voters. For example, the most recent Rasmussen Poll asked voters if they wanted an economic system of complete free enterprise or preferred more government involvement in managing the economy. By 77-19, they voted against a government role, up seven points from last month.

Hey, Dick. Sorry to disappoint you. But historians will point to Obama's First 100 Days as the beginning of "The Democrats' Ronald Reagan."

Hope you get used to Obama's so-called "Socialism." You're going to be living with it in one form or another for the next 20 years.

Not sure I want him to be the Dem's RR. Not even sure why people think Reagan was all that great to begin with.

Obama will be the Democrats' Ronald Reagan in terms of redefining the Party and establishing a proactive legacy, instead of a reactive one (see Bill Clinton).

Obama's first term will rise or fall with the economy...so, we will see.
