This should not come as a surprise to anyone, most of us saw this coming! The ‘Left Front’ in America was humiliated and consigned to the dustbin of history by the rise of ‘Reagan Revolution’ in 1980. Ronald Reagan brought back the so-called “conservatives” from the wilderness and created a new identity for them. These die-hard supply-siders were now called “neo-cons” or neo-conservatives. This group was sent to anonymity by the failure of Herbert Hoover and the rise of Franklin D Roosevelt. The ‘Left’ were called “progressives” and had a long run till 1980.
The withdrawal of Senator Judd Gregg from the consideration to be the Commerce Secretary in Obama administration is an alarming development. The details coming out of the White House clearly indicate the rise of Rahm Emanuel and Nancy Pelosi wing of the party in the new dispensation. It also confirms that the ‘Left front’ has learnt nothing from the debacle of 1993 and the subsequent loss in the mid-term elections in 1994. Barack Obama administration appears to be far more comfortable with the liberals and their extreme progressive policies of 1960s-70s.

A divided government is a better government!
Team-Obama seems to have an ‘Intellectual Blind-Spot’
Rahm Emanuel is needed in Congress, not the White House!
