Really? Were we watching the same thing? Did we look into Obama's eyes and get mesmerized by his twinkly twinkle again? *throws cold water on flippyshark and JWBear*

Congress and the Supreme Court didn't get crap handed to them because our dear darling President is all talk -- he can't do diddly squat about the Supremes lousy decisions and he can't get diddly squat done in Congress either. All he can do well is talk talk talk talk talk talk talk.

Hope change change hope hope change change hope hope change. *yawn*

And don't get me started on how he's repeating his campaign promises of "working with Congress" about repealing DADT when he knows damn well he can issue an Executive Order like Truman did in 1948 to end racial segregation in the military. There's plenty of pushback on that from the Republicans, who are saying that the issue needs to be studied further (oh jeez, they were saying that in 1993 when DADT was implemented! Are ya done studying yet?). But with that pushback, is diddly squat going to be done on that? I'll believe it when I see it. But more talk talk talk talk talk talk talk hope change change hope hope change change hope hope change -- with no deadlines, no plan, just a nebulous "oh jeez, yeah, someday we'll get around to that even thought I'm losing all my goodwill" statement is, to put it mildly, disappointing.

Fvucking DO something already Mr. President, and I'll support you. But today, I really don't believe anything that crosses your lips.
