The Democratic party could end up like Labour

Labour was voted in 1929 after the market crashed. Despite inheriting the mess,Labour were still blamed for the economic crisis because they came into power at the beginning of it. The British people didn't care that they inherited the problem. In 1932, Labour was out of power. They were in the wilderness for 14 years. I think if the Democrats don't do anything then they may end up like the Labour party. People make the mistake to compare Obama's situation to FDR but he at least came into power 3 years after the Depression where it clearly shows that he inherited the mess. This is not really true with Obama.
