Let's Get With It

President Obama needs to realize that with Republicans you are not dealing with reasonable people. Rip them to shreds!!!

The Liberal Mood In 18 Words

When Mascots AttackVia Ben Smith, this comment from a Democratic voter to President Obama perfectly encapsulates the liberal mood:

I'm exhausted. Exhausted of defending you, defending your administration, defending the mantle of change that I voted for.
This gets at what I've been writing about a lot, which is liberals' inability to sustain political enthusiasm, especially when their party holds power. Conservatives often find it natural to muster enthusiasm on behalf of a party in power. Liberals seem to do so only on behalf of an idealistic alternative, which inevitably falls short of their dreams.

My mother says when the Democrats are in power they could do so much more if they stuck together and just moved forward in spite of polls and the opposition.
