Caught the afternoon edition of Meet the Press.
Senator Graham for the first time in a long time impressed. Representative Chaffetz is the star that I always knew he was.
The panelist were singing off tired talking points except for...Chuck Todd.
Todd was basically ringing the alarm bells for the Administration. He stated quite plainly that if the Administration isn't able to get a BIG bargain on the Fiscal issue in this lame duck then the Administrations entire agenda for its second term will be derailed.
Graham and Chaffetz both warned about trying to renew the assault weapons ban...diplomatically of course but it was easy to read between the lines.
Long story short. The Administration and its cheerleaders over reached before they even began day one of their 2nd term.
The canary in the coal mine...Obama Care will hit families hard. EPA regulations will raise the prices of everything. Taxes will have to go up to pay for all the things that were "promised" to constitutes so the Fiscal Cliff negotiations were paramount. Immigration reform still has to be tackled and then you add the most contentious of all issues...guns on top of all that and you have a priorities list that isn't going anywhere.
Oh and since he moved the debate on guns to the front of his agenda then you can bet at least 6 months will be wasted trying to push that thru. If they fail on that issue then his entire agenda will fail.
They campaign like champions and govern like idiots.
