SAD DAY FOR WOMEN, MINORITIES, THE OLD, THE SICK, THE POOR, THE WORKING CLASS, THE 99%, ETC.

The Dems and in particular the administration did a terrible job of keeping the message simple and focused on Democratic accomplishments that have helped those who aren't super wealthy and Republican attempts to help the rich get richer and the rest of us working more for less.

Now the Repubs will spend the next two years making things even easier for the wealthy and harder for the rest of us and then will blame it on Obama in hopes they can secure the presidency in '16. And if the Dems don't get their messaging together they will.

Obama and the Dems should have been on TV with a simple chart showing how many things have improved under his watch and how many things went downhill under the Repubs, over and over and over again. But that ain't the way the party of diversity and humanistic individualism works, unfortunately on days like yesterday.

Now we'll see if the Repubs are smart enough not to give their rightwing base and factions too much in order not to turn off the rest of the country. Or, if they get into factional fights over who's gonna control what. Hopefully they'll self-destruct a little before getting on message for '16.
