Pardon me, but I'm having a real hard time feeling President Obama's indignation today over the Senate's failure to pass any gun control legislation. Perhaps if the President had fought just a little harder to get the equally feckless Harry Reid to move filibuster reform. Perhaps if the President--even after four years of their obstructionism, for God's sake--had ever stood up to the republicans. Perhaps if President Obama had actually, just once, got out there and fought for ordinary Americans.
Instead, he held onto some Pollyanna dream that he could get republicans to cooperate with him in some kind of bipartisan bullshit, and we're all worse off for his inability to grasp reality.
Today wasn't a failure of Washington--it was a failure of the President. Too little courage, no fight, and another epic fail for Barack Obama.
Call my Congressman? You have to be kidding, Mr. President. He's just the same as you, satisifed with the status quo.
But look at the bright side--three more years and you can make countless millions giving speeches and selling your memoirs.
Peace,
