The Madness of Barack Obama or, How Can a GOP Landslide "Return" Us to Failed Policies of the Past if They've Never Really Left?

President Obama says, "The definition of madness is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results." He's on the campaign trail warning voters about "returning to the very same policies that failed us during the last decade."
