Obama Has Problems Too

Over at Hot Air is a link to a longish blog post by Taylor Marsh, the stylish nom de blog of Ms Michelle Marshall, who is an author, political analyst, writer and strategist.♠  She ends her post thusly:

The two political parties have been under siege for some time, because Americans just don’t trust Republicans or Democrats anymore.  Barack Obama was the last chance for political parties, specifically the Democratic brand, with George W. Bush having already given rise to rebellion inside the GOP, which is seen best through Ron Paul and the Tea Party.  Meanwhile, Congress long ago ceded their importance as an equal branch of government, preferring loyalty oaths to their political party, as well as the boss in the Executive branch, which has become a marketing tool for itself, an American kingship of sorts, with no difference between Republican or Democratic presidents.  Once in the White House, the presidents club rules.

So, having finally made it to the recovering partisan shore, though I’m not completely cured, I must say that Pres. Obama’s first term went a long way to liberating me permanently.

In 2012, this liberal’s vote is up for grabs.

Is this Kad Barma's year?  Will the established political parties finally fall apart?
