Cavuto: This is About to Get Ugly

Forget an about-face.

Try a doubling down.

Welcome, everybody, I’m Neil Cavuto and here's the deal.

No deal.

No compromise.

No way.

If you thought this administration was going to take the same humble pie serving the Clinton administration did 16 years ago after it got its political ass kicked, think again.

Because despite Massachusetts, and Virginia, and New Jersey and all those tea parties and all those town hall meetings...

In this very biggest and grandest of presidential meetings ... No blinking, no shifting. No shift.

No course correction.

No correction, at all.

Word is that in his State of Union address in 48 hours, the president will outline how he plans to keep veering left these next 36 months.

His first term will be defined not by shifts in policy, but throttling down on that policy.

So, like a blackjack player risking it all, the president will make clear to all.

I knew Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton was not exactly a dear friend of mine.

I'm no Bill Clinton.

So no "era of big government is over" nonsense.

The problem, as this president sees it, isn't his message, but how he delivered it.

So he'll re-focus on the delivery that might win back the Paul Krugmans and Frank Richs and Maureen Dowds ... But likely do little to win back the bulk of regular old Pauls and Franks and Maureens out there.

Get ready, this is about to get very nasty.
