Obama tries to halt Republican tide
| In the 11th century,
King Canute,
an otherwise pretty good King of England, Ireland, Scotland,
Denmark, Norway and part of Sweden, tried to stop the tide and found
that he wasn't THAT powerful.
"President Barack Obama threw himself back into the congressional election campaign in a political blitz against what appears to be an inevitable Republican landslide."
Oh dear, mixing metaphors. Nothing good can come from this. If you mix high tides and landslides you get MUD, the natural habitat of the political animal.
