I mostly agree with E.J. Dionne, Jr., The Tea Party Is Winning.
"The media are full of commentary on President Obama’s ‘failure of leadership.’ There is some truth to the critique but not in the way the charge is typically made. Obama is not at fault for his budget proposals. But any fair examination of the news suggests that he is in danger of losing control of the national narrative again, just as he did during the stimulus and health care battles."
The Democrats did accomplish some good things legislatively, but they've done nothing to convince anyone of this. As a result, we're still refighting the same fights, even though they're the wrong ones.
