OBAMA SWORN IN -- will fake a second swearing for show and we're right back where we were before Mitt Romney blew it. DAVID BROOKS (New York Times) says the Dems will have overriding goal this legislative season:  to take back the House.  He says Obama may promote bills with the idea of making the GOP look bad. 

OBAMA's initiatives will be GUN CONTROL and CLIMATE CHANGE.  Folks, we're in big trouble.   We need leadership, but we have Obama.  The GOP has no leadership either.  Boehner and McConnell are weak.

TEXAS DEMOCRATS PREDICT that Texas will turn blue very soon.  BE LOGICAL HAS BEEN TELLING YOU THIS FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS.  When/if it happens, the country turns blue, too.  Republicans can never take the White House or dominate the Congress without Texas.  The big question is how to stop them.  (By the way, most of these types of predictions never come true -- but we MUST BE VIGILANT.)
