President Obama says his party isn’t doing well because the voters are irrational:
“Part of the reason that our politics seems so tough right now and facts and science and argument does not seem to be winning the day all the time is because we’re hardwired not to always think clearly when we’re scared,” Obama said Saturday evening in remarks at a small Democratic fundraiser Saturday evening. “And the country’s scared.”
Well, Mr. President, we’re not primarily scared. Mostly we’re angry. Angry that you are trying fundamentally to change the nature of our country. And angry that you are doing it despite our clear message to stop.
But I’ll admit we are scared too. Scared that you might succeed.

POSTSCRIPT: As far as the “facts and science” go, let’s not forget his administration’s pattern of hostility toward them.
