With Off-Year Elections Tilting Right, Is Obama’s Eye Off Gun Owners?

With crushing defeats for the democratic party in the New Jersey and Virginia governors races, resistance by members of their own party towards health care and Cap-In-Trade legislation plus a deepening burden of the growing economic malaise, the Obama administration appears not to have gun owners in their sights with any new or significant anti-gun legislation. Obama has clearly demonstrated that he and his administration live and govern by poll results and recently those once positive numbers have started to tank.

In the back rooms of the White House, Obamaites sweat it out as they work to sanitize every facet of information clean of any culpability by the President as they begin to realize and believe that not all Americans are content to behave like sheep.

This administration, it’s leader and it’s entourage, were highly touted as “setting a new standard” for communication, transparency, openness and non-partisan governance. To that end they have certainly lowered the bar on almost every facet of Presidential decorum, with Obama leading perhaps the most corrupt batch of liberal politicians this nation has witnessed in power. On many accounts, Obama’s administration and his legion of advisors, appear more like a virtual amateur hour of blatant partisan extremists. Composted of liberals, socialists, anarchists, communists and “czars” Obama’s inner circle is filled with people who probably couldn’t organize a trip to the circus let alone manage the health care or be trusted to provide for the defense of 300 million people.

The administration has problems and the November 3rd election is the proof. With that in mind, the administration is going to tread carefully and and be cautious of the battles it wishes to wage. With political storm clouds swelling on the horizon in the form of a republican resurgence, it’s doubtful that the democrats as a party, the President included, would attempt any major anti-gun legislation prior to the 2010 mid-term elections.
