I don't think he ever will. Maybe once his butt is bounced out of the WH, he'll start to have a clue.
Watching President Obama’s press conference today, one could be forgiven for thinking that last night’s elections had never happened, and that his party had not slumped to its biggest midterm defeat in the House of Representatives since 1948.
While he admitted that he had been “humbled” and talked about new cooperation with political foes, there was no acknowledgment whatsoever from the president that his policies had failed, or that they had been emphatically rejected by the American people. He demonstrated a striking defiance of public opinion, and a refusal to change the direction of his agenda.
The US electorate has spoken out with a megaphone against Big Government, seemingly endless spending, rising budget deficits, useless stimulus programmes, and deeply unpopular health care reforms. That message does not appear to have sunk in yet at the White House.
