A political earthquake.

No matter how the White House, Obama, and other Democrats try to minimize the importance of the results of the election on November 3rd, 2009, we know better.

Obama and Biden personally visited areas, prior to this election,  where Democratic candidates were in trouble.   Especially New Jersey.   To no avail.  The voters spoke loud and clear.  The election of 2008 was not a mandate by any means for socialism.  When people where fooled into voting for Obama on false promises of "hope" and "change,"  little did they realize that they were getting bigger government, less national security, higher taxes, less freedom, reckless, wasteful spending in the trillions,  and socialism.  Obama is about as Democratic as Ronald Reagan was a communist.  Obama is a socialist - and the voters have realized this.  This small election - in a handful of states - was extremely  important at this time.  Exactly one year after "The One" was elected president.  It took less than one year for many Obama voters to realize they had been duped.  And they no longer want the "hope" and "change" Obama and his cronies are trying to hoist upon America.

So along come a few elections in 2009.  Republicans are swept back into office - in several cases by very large margins.  Governorships in New Jersey and Virginia (actually, a trifecta in Virginia - Governor, Lt. Governor, and Attorney General).  No Democrats won.  This is just the start.  Looks like conservatism isn't dead after all. 

Obama and the White House will downplay the importance of this election, of course.   Saying no big deal - it doesn't speak to what the people think about Obama and his socialist policies.  As I have said all along - when Obama says one thing - he means something completely different.  This election DOES say a great deal about what the voters now think about Obama and his policies.  In this case, Obama and the Dems are very afraid - afraid for what 2010 and 2012 will bring.  Obama realizes he has 3 years left.  He will be a lame duck after 2010.  (As a side note, Obamacare has been brought to a screeching halt.  Hopefully it will disappear altogether.)   

America may actually look forward to real "hope" and "change" in 2010 and 2012.  Our country can once again be the greatest nation on the face of the earth - one that celebrates freedom,  the individual,  and encourages hard work, love of country, responsibility, and smaller government.  A sharp veer on the right path away from the phony socialist utopia Obama is intent on creating.  And maybe in 2012 we'll actually get a president who is proud of his or her country and celebrates our greatness rather than criticizes us at every opportunity.  What a refreshing "change" that will be!  There is indeed "hope" that the American people will not be bamboozled in 2012 like they were in 2008!
