Has President Obama come to a Lyndon Johnson moment?

Dear Readers:

To those readers where Vietnam and student protests of the '60's is not a history lesson the question is has President Obama come to a Lyndon Johnson moment? Protesters have taken to the streets. Soldiers are dying in overseas wars. Real inflation is on the rise. Gas and food prices are higher that a year ago. People feel the President is out of touch with the populace.

The only thing missing is actual racial inequity. To be clear, it is not like the sixties. God, to ignore the progress made, and the dumbing down of those terms. Other countries may still have these problems is worse case scenarios, but our advancements over them can not be ignored. There is economic inequity that crosses all lines. There are those who wish to keep people in perpetual victim hood, there bye relieving them of responsibility of their personal choices. My statement in 2011 is accurate and acknowledges progress made.

Now prominent Democrat talking heads have written an editorial in The Wall Street Journal (11/21/11) suggesting that for the good of the party, for the good of the country, President Obama declare he will not seek re-election. In a piece titled "The Hillary Moment"
(http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970203611404577041950781477944.html)
by former Carter pollster Pat Caddell and former Clinton pollster Doug Schoen, they make a compelling argument that Obama should step out of next years presidential elections. They believe should he step down, that Hillary Clinton would get the nod by acclimation.

The thrust of their argument is that Obama has lost the support of the people and even should he win, will not be able to govern. Not only that, but by being on the ticket, he will bring the rest of the party down to depths not seen since 1952.

They argue that to win, Obama must wage such a "scorched earth" campaign, he would never get any legislation passed. He can't run on four more years of this. High unemployment, lousy housing market, energy costs through the roof, and the implementation of "Obama Care" whether the Supreme Court legalizes it or not.

No, the campaign now being waged, and only to get worse, is to scare the electorate into not voting Republican. You see it now, Republicans want grandma to die, are in favor of dirty air and water, are in the pocket of the rich, and want the poor to starve. He is acting like he just got to Washington, by running against a congress that has only been in power 11 months, hoping people forget he had both legislative branches for his first two years, and no matter what he inherited, his policies over those two year have only exasperated them.

Caddell and Schoen are right. Obama will assure Republicans control of both legislative houses. He must step out of the race like Johnson and Truman before him. Hillary would get the nod. That would be better for the party. However I am not so sure it would be better for the country. This is my opinion, you may beg to differ.
