My OperaEyes on Top of the Head

So Obama's party got crushed during the midterms, or "shellacking" as he puts it.
A loss of 60++ seats in the House is huge by any measure, and even though the Democrats held on to the Senate, they still got their majority heavily trimmed and a major reason was because the Tea Party, in its misguided pursuit for ideological purity, nominated controversial demagogues who won primaries because they "sounded" more conservative. The Democrats suffered serious setbacks in gubernatorial races and were basically wiped out in state legislatures, which could weaken them during the imminent redistricting to come.
Still, it seems Obama doesn't get it, having insisted that his party's defeat was due to miscommunication by his team to the public on the virtues of his policies. And that comes from an alleged "Great Communicator", a "Unifier of Red and Blue America", and a "sort of God" who causes "tingles to run up on legs". Of course, anyone with the above epithets would crash and burn in elections if they tried to divide one race against another, pass unpopular policies against public opposition, and insulted the voters they are trying to appeal to. Duh!
A person with eyes that grow on top of his head cannot see what there is ahead of him. Neither can he see himself easily unless he bends double. Seen any such people recently?
