The CBS News program "60 Minutes" aired an episode featuring, U.S. President, Barack Obama, who refused to own up to the mid-term election losses his political party faced this past week. Try as the host may, Obama refused to accept responsibility for the historic losses his fellow Democrats sustained, representing political regression that set them back 68-years in the U.S. House of Representatives. 

Does this level of denial, similar to that of Vice President, Joe Biden, who prior to the election, believed there would be no electoral losses and former, House Speaker, Nancy Pelosi, proclaiming a few hours before polls closed that the Democrats would retain the House of Representatives, symbolize a larger political and social disconnect from the rest of the country. 

For months, the national polls were spot on correct and accurate, yet top ranking Democrats, including the President, ignored them and more alarmingly, continue to do so, even after the election has been decided. They are experiencing a form of denial and political paralysis. 

How can they go forward if their minds are still in the past. They have to wake from the stupor they are in and go forward. It is time for a change. Sadly, the Obama Administration has made "change" a bad word. People don't even want to use it any more. It is no longer the word du jour.
