What We Have Heah is a Failure to Communicate!

This is a famous line from the movie Cool Hand Luke and Charles Krauthammer, in giving his take on the results of Tuesday's election, both warns Republicans and applies this line to our President. Take it away Charles:

"Nor should Republicans overinterpret their Tuesday mandate. They received none. They were merely rewarded for acting as the people's proxy in saying no to Obama's overreaching liberalism. The Republicans won by default. And their prize is nothing more than a two-year lease on the House.

The president, however, remains clueless. In his next-day news conference, he had the right demeanor — subdued, his closest approximation to humility — but was uncomprehending about what just happened. The "folks" are apparently just "frustrated" that "progress" is just too slow. Asked three times whether popular rejection of his policy agenda might have had something to do with the shellacking he took, he looked as if he'd been asked whether the sun had risen in the West. Why, no, he said."

The next two years should be very interesting.
