While liberal pundits may joke that Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger is as popular as predecessor Grey Davis was, they should be paying a bit of attention to the increasing disapproval rating of their current leader and its already visible aftermath.

White House aides were recently quoted saying they are prepping an “aggressive schedule” for former President Bill Clinton to assist in funding and voter needs for the left regarding the upcoming election.  Obama’s schedule, for observable reasons, will be lesser and far between that Clinton’s.  While they may hide behind statements such as business needing his attention, scuff marks on his golf clubs and the mileage on Air Force One may beg to differ that prospective reasoning for his lack of electoral event involvement.

A Democratic operative discussing this stated there are few “talented politicians” on their side that can “lay out the contrast with the Republicans”.  However, the obvious reasoning behind this is as clear as Obama promised the government was going to be: “Hide the unpopular leader while we still have a chance to win.”  Clinton, no matter what kind of corrupt background he carried within his leadership, is an attention getter and will bring many checkbooks and liberal ballot marks.

No matter what they do however, the past years of the democratic leadership did happen. Hence, the only issue with that is no “talented politician” can hide the broken promises of the current Administration.  One thing that the Democrats should realize is that they are not dealing with the same voting citizens. The Tea Party, no matter what the NAACP says, has resulted in more educated citizens. Much like the first Tea Party, they are debating not only with passion but with facts and research founding their statements.

The fact that a former President who was lucky enough to be leading during an economy that had nothing to do with him and, how so many forget, was involved in historic impeachment proceedings, shows the straws which Democrats are reaching for and how much they are realizing: They may see the unemployment line in November.
