Obama lost 13 in the house, 7 in the senate. How many did Bush jr. lose in his 6th year?

Democrats lost 63 seats in the 2010 mid-term elections in the House and 6 seats in the Senate. Democrats managed to pick up a few seats in 2012, but the gains were small compared to the losses that they have suffered in the two mid-term elections (2 Senate seats and 8 House seats). You are making a good effort to put a positive spin on Democrats' electoral disaster, but that is all it is - spin.

Since Reagan, Congress has flipped to the other party in the 6th year. According to that site, Clinton gained seats, but republicans had control in the 6th year.

Obama suffered a huge setback on Tuesday, but like you, he is in denial of what a pariah he has become politically.

Obama will continue to drag your party down until (unless) he starts governing like an adult and heeding public opinion by signing some legislation with bipartisan support. Republicans will give him that opportunity. Let's see if he is smart enough to stop the bleeding. Clinton was, but I just don't see Obama putting in the hard work that it will take to stop the bleeding in his party.
