Party of Maybe: Forget the GOP -- Democrats’ worst enemies are themselves

(The Note- RICK KLIEN).Who needs an opposition party when the party in power is doing a decent job opposing itself?

Forget the future of the Republican Party -- it’s the present for the Democratic Party that’s problematic for President Obama’s agenda. (From the Manny Ramirez school of self-destruction?)

On healthcare, on cap-and-trade, on budget-cutting, on Guantanamo Bay -- the president is mediating (or may be in the process of losing) old battles inside his own party. (And House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has her own battle -- mostly against herself.)

It doesn’t always take ideas to stop ideas; that’s not how Democrats blocked Social Security reform, or how immigration reform blocked itself.
