The random political thoughts thread (Part Deux)

What I enjoyed about the speech was that he came across as "one of us". I think his advisers are very perceptive. I think the tone of his speech was right on the money: people are pissed off at you and the Senate and the House do-nothings.
The line about Democrats doing something and not heading for the hills was right on the money. F*cking cowards. The line about Republicans joining in and not insisting on 60 votes to get things done was right on the money as well. F*cking bullies.
All in all, I am still cynical about our government. But what a good jerk off session it was.

Agreed. Imho, the Democrats are scared of the religious right in our country. It's sad.
