Our determination to fight for the America we want for our children ... even if we're unsure exactly what that looks like.
Uh, yeah.
I haven't said too much about the Deepwater Horizon oil spill* because everyone and his grandmother has been on about it for almost two months. Last night, however, something interesting happened when Mr Obama gave his first oval office speech–or a vapid collection of vague comments that boiled down to, "The solution is to pass the legislation I wanted passed anyway while I play Mussolini with another industry before a round of golf."
I expected right-wing columnists to condemn the speech. What I didn't expect was that it would get attacked by the left-wing as well–and that includes the BBC, which until now used to go around to the White House every Saturday to wax Mr Obama's car.
If this keeps up, I predict that sometime after November, Mr Cool is going to snap, berate the American public for not being worthy of him, and be faced with the choice of resignation or playing World of Warcraft for the rest of his term.

*Or the "wicked, Capitalist BP (I never said British Petroleum) spill that has nothing to do with me and it's really more like 9/11 than Katrina because you all thought President Bush was great after that one, but it clearly had nothing to do with what he did, and now that I've made the comparison you all feel the same way about me now, don't you? Don't you", as Mr Barack Hussein Obama prefers to call it

Didn't it take Carter longer than this to Carter out? When was the incident with the killer rabbit? Not as early as '77, was it? I do not feel schadenfreude, even though I think Hussein Husseinovich is an annoying little nerd with an overblown opinion of himself. I also do not hope that he fails as Rush Limbaugh rather infamously did once. The office of the President of the United States is too important for that. Whether, as Husseinovich himself put it, we like it or not.
Particularly stupid bit from Jon Stewart, by the way. Since when is it so obviously evil to treat enemy combatants captured during combat as enemy combatants? Why did the audience applaud the old clips of Hussinovich making campaign promises that he's clearly not keeping? Since when is it a great joke to say, "the captain is an idiot, and is steering straight for the rocks" (or was that only laugh track I was hearing?)? The stupid runs deep.
I quite agree. The stupid runs very deep indeed. I find it fascinating that The One has so royally tripped up on his own left flank (pun intended) and that even his most devout and reality-challenged erstwhile supporters are showing buyers remorse.
As to hoping Mr Obama fails, I still go by my original opinion on that point: It depends entirely on what he's trying to do.
I figure, the loonier aspects of the loony-Left agenda are going to fail all by themselves. If it were possible for everyone to have lots of free stuff (plus pony rides) for no work, it would have been happening already. As it is, Western Europe could hardly pull off socialism when it didn't have to pay for its own defense, and even that success story isn't doing so well lately. Gods of the Copybook Headings, as you say.
