Mission Statement: This blog reviews the news of the day in light of 242 years of American history. "Nationalism," a modern day pejorative, has been our country's politic throughout history, until 2008. Obama changed that narrative. Trump is seeking a return to our historical roots. Midknight Review supports this return to normality.
The nation has had 6.5 years to witness the implementation of Obama's Utopian policies. No one but the most partisan like what they see.
Bush, during his lowest approval years, took in 12 million more votes in his re-election bid than in his first election; Obama lost a total of 4.5 million in his re-election compared to 2008. 25 governors were Dems in 2009, today, after 6 six years of Obama, the Dems have 17 and the GOP has 31; the Senate and the House had super-majorities (yet only passed two major pieces of legislation and never passed a budget during the Reid years in the Senate) and today, they have lost the House for at least a decade, and the Seante is in GOP hands, after losing 16 Senate seats during the Obama popularity years. More than 4,000 local and county seats have flipped in favor of the GOP with two of the most one sided midterm elections (2010 and 2014) in American history to their credit during Obama's "popular" presidency. In the military, Obama's popularity stands at 15% . . . . . they hate the guy and he is "upside down" on all major issues facing the nation. Kind of silly to pretend his "popularity rating" means anything other than the fact that he is a likeable fellow, for many folks.
