The Change He Promised

Man, it's just so HARD to get outraged any more. After eight years of a Republican administration that was simultaneously corrupt, incompetent, vicious, incoherent, and cunning I just can't find it in me to get mad at Obama for his "betrayals" of progressivism.

Take last night's speech. He basically gave the GOP a choice- Help him fix this mess, stand aside while he fixes this mess, or suffer the wrath of the American people for stopping him from fixing this mess.

And the Republican "response"? In addition to being insane and laughably delivered, basically came down to "we'd rather be kicked in the face". So we can very much look forward to many many MANY hilarious days of GOP whining about "oppression" and evil government. Bring it, kiddies. While you cry, the Administration will bring this country back on track toward a 21st Century prosperity. You know, the opportunity you squandered with tax cuts and outrageous, wasteful spending on warfare.
