With the historic event of a Republican winning a Senate seat that has been in Democratic hands for the past 60 years, the pundits are now saying that perhaps the Democrats have miss-interrupted their equally historic election mandate last year, and have moved too far to the left. Peacock thinks otherwise.
President Obama’s historic election in 2008 was set up by a perfect storm of events. The electorate was exhausted with eight years of President Bush, and the war “of election” that the Democrats had wrapped around his neck. Then there was Bush’s historic spending and the double-digit growth of government during his administration. If this were not enough, the Conservatives were also saddled with a poor candidate who was viewed as more of a liberal than a true conservative. The real breaking point came a mere two months before the election with the meltdown of Wall Street and the accompanying collapse of the American economy.
Although Peacock recognized the candidate as a left wing ideologue well before the election, Peacock also knows very many otherwise bright people who voted for President Obama because they felt he would perforce have to govern from the center. After all, it is no secret the United States of America is slightly right of center in its political leanings.
Therefore, if the political leanings of the country are well known as slightly right of center, how could the democrats miss-construe their “mandate” and lurch so violently to an extreme left-wing ideology?
Peacock believes that the answer to this riddle is that it was the extreme left wing of the Democratic party that got President Obama elected, and that the plan all along was to ram as much radical thinking into law as possible. This is the reason why every Administration initiative had to be done yesterday, and why time was of the essence. Further, Peacock feels that the plan never assumed that President would be re-elected, but the damage would already have been done and very hard to turn back.
If President Obama, like President Clinton did after the mid-term elections of 1992, begins to legitimately move to the center (remember, watch what he does, not what he says), than perhaps Peacock will have been wrong about President Obama’s true mission.
However, if he ignores the obvious warnings of the elections and staggering drop in public opinion polls since taking office, and continues to push his left wing agenda at the expense of his party, Peacock can only say, “game on!”
