I should hope so

Obama: Agenda 'all at risk' in any Republican romp

An agenda of massive Government take over of the private industry, continuing/worsening unemployment, wreckless out of control spending of our tax dollars, debt that will far outlast our children's children's children? 

One can hope for a change in that "agenda", with the electorate giving a very loud exclamation point to that

Two things to keep in mind.

The President still has veto power

and the Dems control the Senate.

Don't expect rollbacks of what has been passed already, this time around.

Expect that the Obama agenda items that haven't passed, probably won't get through the house.

Expect gridlock and expect infighting within the GOP, old school vs new school, idealists vs pragmatists, insiders vs outsiders, and expect the Dems and their allies to exploit that.

2 additional things to keep in mind

1) I'm confident the GOP knows (as most of the rest of us as well) they shouldn't expect to pass anything into law, that remotely approaches repealing anything Obama

2) The Senate is quite safe from any fillibuster breaking effort the Dems may once have had, not too long ago

The effort here is now to help educate the electorate

addend) Oh yea, I have no doubt that whatever # majority the GOP was to aquire post-election, the Dem (MSM) playbook has already been written......GOP won't work with the president, therfore its the GOP's fault the country is still in complete economic chaos, if not freefall, because they won't help Obama push is any faster over that cliff.  The bastards

Well here is hoping the GOP leadership is up to the task, because if they aren't i have a feeling they will be replaced.

And hopefully the tea party folks will do a better job of vetting candidates.
