FAILURE TO COMMUNICATE

I have often felt that Obama has more to fear from Democrats that Republicans.  Both Democrats and Republicans are well aware that he is a failed President likely to take the Democratic Party to ruin in 2012.  Democrats are still reeling from the shellacking they took last fall.  In addition, the Democratic Party is dominated by true KoolAid drinking anti-war liberals.  While no one is impressed with Obama’s handling of Libya, liberal Democrats are outraged.  They could barely tolerate his continuation of the Bush policies in Iraq and Afghanistan.  They were totally unprepared for him to go off half-cocked with his adventure in Libya.  Normally Dennis Kucinich is a harmless diversion.  But when you combine this with Boehner’s blunt warning to Obama, this is now very serious:

It looks like the Obama administration is going to have to go hat in hand to congress.  The problem is that they have no hat to carry and no hand to play.  It is really hard to justify intervening in Libya and not Syria.  In addition, while we were distracted in Libya, Afghanistan is melting down and Iran is nuking up.  At best, this is highly embarrassing for the Obama administration at worst he may have blundered into a constitutional crisis.
