Never mind that the President is speaking in the third person, I explain the truth in Obama’s statement.

The party whose members are running away, and starting to show the wear in their armor.

First it was Sen. Bryan Dorgan (D-ND) who decided that he won’t be seeking re-election.  This is big news, as their own internal polling must show them that the GOP has a very serious shot at taking the seat.  Then, it was an even bigger blow.  Perennial president candidate, and Countrywide Mortgage golden child Sen. Chris Dodd (D-CT) has decided that he will not seek re-election.

This, without question, is a problem for Democrats.  Two prominent leaders of the Democrat party are leaving…while they control all the power.  With Dorgan already trailing his not-even-announced challenger, and Peter Schiff being incredibly strong in his now used-to-be race against Dodd, how could the Democrats let this happen?  Was this a plan?  A strategy to change the balance of absolute power in Congress, so Democrats could have something to rail against (Republicans) when they can’t get their measures passed?  (It has taken them months to get this far with Forced Universal Health Care, and they control everything.  And, they still have months to go, and many more members to bribe and threaten!)  Or, is this the case of Democrats recognizing that they had their chance, and the failed miserably.  Why should Dodd run for re-election, when he is only going to get destroyed for his role in Countrywide, and for his horrible work vis-a-vis Wall Street as Chairman of the Senate Banking Committee?  It’s not like the President’s coattails are long enough these days to help him win that re-elect with ease.  The President’s actions, both domestically and on the world stage, have seen to his continued diminished capacity.  Dorgan might be feeling the same way.  Who else in Congress might be feeling that the once-prominent power of President Obama might have been already used up?

Possibly, Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

In being confronted about C-SPAN’s desire to cover the health care debate from beginning to end, Speaker Pelosi (D-CA) was asked about President Obama’s campaign promise to have  public access to the political process.  Her response was, simply put, not kind, nor respectful of a man who would have the power to help with re-election campaigns.

Pelosi, in answering the questions, stated, “There are a number of things he was for on the campaign trail…”

What does this mean?  That Obama lied during his campaign?  He lied to get elected?  He said things, but didn’t mean them?  He has gone back on promises before?  He can’t be trusted?  He’s just an everyday politician?  Speaker Pelosi doesn’t trust him?

Democrats leaving when they have all the power.  Alliances slowly crumbling.  A majority in turmoil.

There’s something happening here.  And what it is, ain’t exactly clear.

**Added** Now, Gov. Ritter (D-CO) has decided not to run for re-election.  One has to ask, what will we see tomorrow?
