The Obama administration is trying to make hay out of the polls that show a dismal approval rating of Congress. Is he making a mistake? Think about this. Conservatives don’t like big government. The never have.  Liberals like big government and expect Congress to do big things. So when the Congressional approval falls, it is likely because liberals are disenchanted.

So the Obama strategy to run against Congress is simply a way to get his base back on-board the big government gravy train. Liberals will vote for him anyway. He needs moderates…and moderates like politicians to play nice together.

Running against Congress might have worked for Harry Truman…but Barack Obama is no Harry Truman.
