The Great Debate

Who is worse off at mid-September 2011, the Boston Red Sox or the Democratic Party? Defeats continue to mount for both as recent losses to Tampa Bay by Boston may or may not be as bad the defeats taken by the Democrats yesterday in Nevada and New York City. There are, of course, parallels. The Red Sox Nation is nervous as hell while the White House, already fragile, is shaking to its core knowing these losses are simply an early sour taste of the the next fifteen months.

"Pass this now" President Obama says of his new, newer, newest jobs program. No discussion, no compromise, no congressional committee review. This would be akin to the Red Sox saying to Tampa Bay: second place is ours, let's not play the remaining games.

My conclusion is the Red Sox have a far greater chance of securing a winning future than does BHO and his horribly misguided economic policies. In fact, I think there is a greater likelihood of the Yankees winning both the 2011 and 2012 World Series than BHO and Democrats have of being reelected to the White House.
