I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again…

…but first, proof that I’m right. Charles Krauthammer:

For Obama, 2010 matters little. If Democrats lose control of one or both houses, Obama will likely have an easier time in 2012, just as Bill Clinton used Newt Gingrich and the Republicans as his foil for his 1996 re-election campaign.

Obama is down, but it’s very early in the play. Like Reagan, he came here to do things. And he’s done much in his first 500 days. What he has left to do he knows must await his next 500 days — those that come after re-election.

2012 is the real prize. Obama sees far, farther than even his own partisans. Republicans underestimate him at their peril.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again:

President Clinton was “irrelevant” after the 1994 elections. President Bush, Sr., was untouchable after the First Gulf War. President Obama is Democrats are toast now that ObamaCare has passed because the economy still sucks and they’re making it worse. Which of these things might turn out to be exactly like the others?
