Fred Barnes, like so many other Republican writers, are writing about Republican silver linings everywhere they can imagine and then "see" them. Traumatized by the Republican crash of the last two elections (due to American crashes at home and abroad, thanks to disastrous Republican policies), Barnes sees future Republican success in Obama's policies.

I believe Americans are not so stupid and forgetful to vote the same Republican policies back in charge that got us in this mess in the first place. Their united lying and obstructionism may weaken Obama, but the fruits of his policies will mean Republican election losses for many years (decades?) to come.
