In my view this is not so much as a rebuke of Obama, per se, but a rebuke of Wiener and others who abuse their position with an attitude of entitlement.
Billy Bob and Andy Thunbscrews Cuomo couldn't carry the 3-1 Democrat district for Weprin.

hold off on your gloat fest for now, I think you're getting a little ahead of yourself...
look at NY-23, a seat that had been in GOP hands since the 1870s, shirtless rep winds up leaving and a member of the Democratic Party takes that seat, I think we're looking at the extreme dissatisfaction with the do-nothing congress, everybody gets replaced.

I know many conservatives who would like nothing better that "everybody gets replaced". I would be happy forcing retirement on everyone who has been in congress over 20 years. I'd be happier with 12 years, but I would settle for an even 25 years. John Dingel (Dem. Michigan) - 55 years Daniel Inouye (Dem. Hawaii) - 52 years John Conyers (Dem. Michigan) - 46 years Charles B. Rangel (Dem. New York) - 40 years Bill Young (Rep. Florida) - 40 years Thad Cochran (Rep. Mississippi)- 38 years Pete Stark (Dem. California) - 38 years Don Young (Rep. Alaska) - 38 years Patrick Leahy (Dem. Vermont) - 36 years Max Baucus (Dem. Montana) -36 years Chuck Grassley (Rep. Iowa) - 36 years Tom Harkin (Rep. Iowa) - 36 years George Miller (Dem. California) - 36 years Henry Waxman (Dem. California) - 36 years 9 of the 14 longest serving current members of Congress are Democrats. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longest_Serving_Senators |
