I couldn't be President, there are too many fools and clowns to deal with. President Obama's speech last night was my personal favorite. Any person with half a brain and who actually cares about America would see the logic of his arguments. What has happened in America especially with Republicans is that they have become 'so' partisan that reason and good, heck even great ideas, can't get a fair review or hearing.
Who elects these people ? That's what I wonder. The state of South Carolina needs to make better choices about who they elect. It really shows that their majority electorate aren't too bright. First Governor Stanford gallivanting around South America with his "soul mate". Now Congressman Wilson not being able to control himself in a joint session speech in Congress by yelling "you lie!"on the floor of the House of Representatives when the President of the United States was speaking about some of the gravest concerns of our nation. Are you kidding me? The President was "cool as a fan", hardly missing a beat, probably expecting nonsense like this at this point.
Personally, if I were Barack, I would be thinking about not running for re-election. It comes to a point were you can't save people who don't want to be saved. If the Democrats can't get health care with fillabuster proof majorities in both houses, then that's sad.
There were a few brilliant turns in the President's speech but I like the way he wrapped it up. He seemed to be asking the lawmakers if they were men or boys, if they came to work or bullshit. I like that. The more the Republicans keep up this nonsense the more they are being looked upon as just inconsequential, or as an after thought. Other than the 10 to 15% far right Republicans, I wonder sometimes how mainstream Republicans feel about their party. The Republicans used to have ideas, what happened ?

Sean and I stood up and clapped at appropriate moments - that speech made me so proud to be an American, even more than inauguration. "The time for games is over..." or something close - brilliant.

They've already run out of any intelligent options as to how to smear Obama and so their insecurities are rearing they're heads, ideologies, agendas, platforms, take your pick! You have to understand the damage that Obama's progress is doing to the psyche of the opposition at a time when the Republicans still can't live down the Bush/Cheney fiasco of the prior eight years. Now really, does any intelligent adult think that John McCain and Sarah Palin wouldv'e been doing a better job at this very moment, had they would have gotten the electoral vote?? I like asking rhetorical questions because the opposition can't muster a proper rebuttal on the subject. That congressman's foolish outburst only further cements the desperation on the part of any and all Obama's critics far and wide...If they shut the hell up come to the table actually ready to work cohesively with the Democrats the reality is that both parties usually share more commonalities than differences. But when you've got a room full of wannabe chiefs trying to supercede the real leader its always an icy uphill battle, lest their be a Judas in the emperor's midst...
