Free advice to Democrats: What to do about Obama?

By Jennifer Rubin

President Obama’s approval ratings are sinking and may go lower. Democrats in the NY-9 and Nevada-2 special congressional elections lost badly. Under Obama, the unemployment rate, the debt and spending have soared. For Democrats in competitive seats on the ballot in 2012 this may be a repeat of 2010, or worse. So what do they do — blame the GOP (as Obama is doing), object to his agenda, or tie their fate to the president?

I’ll post the best answer(s) Wednesday at noon. Have at it!
