big mandate? so where is it? 2008 election, it was reported that it was the greatest clamoring for change by the american electorate for generations....and Obama and Democrats won big..they had a presidential landslide by Obama, and they had huge majorities in the house of representatives and a formidable 59 to 41 margin in the U.S. senate...they had a clear economic calamity going on as they took over control, a perfect scenario if ever for change to happen. So what change did they make? I am not talking about tinkering around the edges change, I am asking what real change did they make? and a follow up question is.....how could the american public clamor for change like they did and putting Democrats in power and then come right back just 2 years later in 2010 and clamor for change in the other direction that they wanted to change away from just 2 years ago? Were the people angry because the Democrats changed things way more than they thought they would? is that it? overchange? or was it that the people were disillusioned because they felt lied to by the change motto of 2008 and wanted to punish Democrats for their betrayal?
