I'm not saying there haven't been significant and serious topics of debate and concern over the last six years. I'm sure that'll continue to be the case in the next two years (and for the rest of all time most likely).
But for the last six years that has been a lot of "the president says 'nukular' and is therefore the most retarted president of all time" and "the Secretary of State was buying shoes the day after Katrina and therefore the president is the most retarded president of all time" and "the president said Paki showing that he is the most retarded president of all time" and on and on and on.
This will be true of the current congress as well. It is easier to pretend outrage over a soundbite than to actually suffer through substantive debate.
