And if you're anything like me, you say well, damn! It's about time! ...until you learn that what he attacked was not the Bush wingnuts...it was the media.
Now, certainly some aspects of the media have been "co-conspirators," is it were, in spreading these. But I'd really like it if this President would start both kicking ass and naming names.
My god, it's like somehow President Obama swallowed whole what Ronald Reagan called "the 11th Commandment: Thou shalt not speak ill of a republican." Of course, when Reagan used it, he said "another republican."
I'm so, so, so, so tired of the people I elected acting as though the right-wing has any brains whatsoever. When they keep showing, every day in every way, not only that they don't, but that they insist on treating everyone else (right or left-wing) like they don't either.
Or, as a consoling white man once said to another dazzling urbanite who rode into a corrupt situation and hoped to change things with nothing more than a friendly smile...
"What did you expect? "Welcome, sonny"? "Make yourself at home"? "Marry my daughter"? You've got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know... morons."
Everytime somebody screams and yells, and the response from the Obama camp is not "sit down, you idiot," but: "I understand your concern, but I think you're a little bit misinformed, let me try to explain just what..."
...is another day that we're going to have to put up with this cycle, and another day we get further and further from policies that might actually help some people. Instead of keeping up the pretense that everybody in Washington just wants the best things for all of our citizens, we just disagree on the methods.
Bullshit. There is right, and there is wrong. And we can see who's wrong. And we can see who isn't doing jack-diddly-squat about it.
