My position on the 2010 elections

It seems to me that a lot of the things Obama is getting criticized for is for doing things which he actually planned to do, even promised to do during his time as a presidential candidate. That always puzzles me a bit about the electorate. Even if they claim they like a candidate who actually does what he says he will do, when confronted with the real deal, they sometimes don't know how to react at least not initially. My GOD! The man actually fulfilled campaign promises, even ones that nobody thought he had a prayer on, like Health Care Reform, for example. And the end result was pretty damn close to what he promised, right down to his differences with Hillary Care. Remember this was the Democrat who never fully committed to some communistic British single payer. He always was for those nasty individual mandates which more socialistic thinkers like myself opposed.
So my thought is this. We FINALLY after many decades of deception and subversion in the post civil rights era, we FINALLY have a president who mostly does what he promised to do. And now its his first midterm. What do you do? Many predict a GOP pickup of seats. I would normally think that would be an entirely normal first midterm for many presidents, and hence the mainstream media seems to have pre-emptively chosen this as the story for the 2010 elections. The only problem with that is that they are still more than three months away. So will "common-sense" rule the day, or is something else going on?

The majority of American voters most likely never paid attention to his views and intentions. Voting for Obama was a fad throughout the country. To be "hip" one needed to vote for Obama. Hope, Change!
Now, Obama has been elected. He is implementing policies that over half of this country despise despite the fact that the people have been vocal. Socialism is for the Europeans and East Asians. Americans dislike it.
