Mock Them at Your Own Risk, Mr. President

President Obama claims to be "amused" by all the tea party protests and says that the protesters should be "thanking him."

I am starting to like the idea of Democrats making light of the groundswell against them. Part of the reason Republicans dominated elections in 1994 is that the Democrats did not realize the size of the threat until it was too late.

There was some concern that this year would be different because Democrats had over a year of warning.

But the belittling and marginalizing by Obama and the Democrats continues unabated, in the wake of Virginia, New Jersey and Massachusetts and terrible poll numbers for Democrats all across the country.

And this will likely be a good thing. The more they put blinders on, and try to convince each other that the uprising is small and non-threatening, the less they will prepare for the intense fight that is coming this election season.

So keep mocking, Mr. President.

It started to annoy me until I realized the same thing. His mockery can only help. Although, I think the idea of losing the House and Senate doesn't bother him either. Because he wouldn't have to worry about getting anything passed during the last two years and would just blame Republicans for blocking everything.

Besides, our big win in 1994 helped Clinton since people didn't seem to realize it was the Republicans and not the President that were getting things done.

Well, that and we didn't put up the best candidate against him in 96, but whatever.
