Tuesday’s elections point to the end of the Obama era and a possible GOP sweep in November. This is change? A party of conservative white people? So much for hope.

Sadly, most tea-baggers and Obama Zombies are going to be disappointed when they go to vote in November and Palin vs. Obama is not a choice.
They will slowly slink home when they realize that they are just voting for the same bunch of crooks that have been oozing around the hallowed halls of congress for the last thirty some years.
They will not show up ever again to vote because the system failed them.

If you are looking to the government for hope, you are looking in the wrong place.
As usual with Ted’s cartoons, this doesn’t do Saracuda justice. Looks-wise, of course.
On a more serious note, it’s a good thing that many incumbents, on both sides of the ruling party, will be thrown out in the coming elections.
Throw them all out, as far as I’m concerned. I’ll be writing in “None of the Above” a lot this November. An empty category can be ignored, but if something gets written in, at least it has to be tallied. It’s a shame that writing in “None of the Above” doesn’t actually prevent either joker from getting into office.
Maybe Barry is hoping for more change from BP:
More than 3.5 million dollars has been given to candidates by BP over the last 20 years, with the largest single donation, 77,051 dollars, going to Obama.
Turns out Barry is just another tool.
