The problem with your belief is that is mostly based on crap. Other than that, it makes good sense.

Lets say that it was and that what happened wasn't actually the left refusing to support Obama because he's a thrice damned centrist, combined with the ruling party doing poorly in midterms and oh yeah a throw the bums out mentality. How does that excuse the last 6 years?
I think we all know Obama will kneel before Congress and you guys are pretty much gonna get whatever you want for the next two years.

I've said this before, but
If I were to find myself teaching history today, I think that I might say that there have been two american revolutions. The first one is the one we all know about in 1776, the second one happened in 1968. That was when the right wing we all know and love was born.
There was a lot of new stuff happening back then. The young were changing everything, nothing was safe. America had just elected a liberal president in John Kennedy , and had watched him get gunned down. Then Johnson who was not considered a liberal, took over and either out of guilt or love decided to try to follow Kennedy's path. This forced the racist of the south to abandon the democratic party and go into the republican camp.
The vietnam war was brung about in a way that might seem familiar to us after just going through the ride that president bush took us on. But acts were faked and news was distorted and a very unpopular war was begun. The dems were more in favor of downplaying the war while Nixon said he would expand the bombing to win it. Wallace ran with Curtis Lemay as his running mate, both men said they would use nuclear bombs if they needed them to win the war.
So this divide forced the war mongers to join the republican also. So now we have the racist and the war mongers and all the regular guys who just want things to stay the way they are, the real conservatives.
Enter Reagan, Ronald Reagan had been an informer for the house committee on unamerican activities, while he served as president of the screen actors guild. He had kissed the asses of enough of the rich folk out west that they ran him for governor. When he came into office college was free if you were from california. The schools were leaders in the country, nobody was complaining about jobs. Things were just fine. Reagan started the fall of the american way of life when he started his war on government and taxes. When he expanded his tax cuts for the rich to also starting a war on unions, he won over the hearts and souls of the wealthy to the republicans.
This unholy alliance has ran the country on a steady decline ever since. Nixon scared us for a bit and in a moment of clarity we stepped back and played it safe with ford and later Carter, but than we faced Reagan again rich and well supported by all the racist, war mongering greedy asshole bankers and your real conservatives.
After Reagan and Bush America left and took up with Clinton. But brother Bill got his dick sucked and some of the democrats could not find it in their hearts to forgive so they didn't use him to help Gore in his run against faulty voting in Fla and the republican party.
Now after Bush wrecked the economy led us into two wars while he was cutting the taxes that he needed to support those wars, and then as an after thought to his bad policies he puts us in a position where we give all the public money to the banks and insurance companies as he walks out the door.
Enter Obama, A small time operator from the midwest, an honest man who wants to be a good president because it means a lot for him to prove that a black man could be a good president. At first he meets trouble from his own party over the health care laws he wanted to push. Two years are wasted by bickering among the dems. After the midterm elections in 2010 gave the house to the republicans they have made it a very public knowledge that they are against their elected leader. Fuck any american who voted for him. Your votes are so dumb they shouldn't count.
Here we are.

No, that would be the third American Revolution; the second ended in 1865.

What, specifically, did mikey get wrong?
I know for a fact that the paragraph on Reagan was spot-on, I've read Reagan's story in The Invisible Bridge, by Rick Perlstein.

My American History professor in college used to take off an entire letter grade for referring to it as anything other than "The War of Northern Aggression".
