Barack Obama’s dream of being a transformational president who alters the course of his country died 48 hours ago.

The message America sent Obama and the men and women America sent to Congress to replace his allies impel one to ask: Why would he want a second term?

Why would the most liberal president since FDR wish to preside over the major surgery on the social safety net that must be done in the era of austerity we have entered? The liberal hour is over. Why would the Party of Government not prefer that Republicans do the painful work of paring back programs for which Democrats have fought since the New Deal?

The media have begun a drumbeat to demand that the new speaker, John Boehner, compromise with Obama for the good of the country.

Are these people delusional?

The problem is that Boehner will compromise, in a bad way.

Before I finish reading, I would just like to say; My hopes have died, "Barack Obama's dream of being a... died 48 hours ago." I guess I read it wrong at first... thought he died. I almost jumped. :o
