Moaning and groaning and swearing to sit it out. Nobody said Vote once, and miracles will happen.
Plus while the Media was busy promoting the T-Party, most who could have made a difference were sitting around laughing at them, and throwing rocks at this President, and doing jack shit else!

11. In the abstract, the branches of gov. are independent, in practice they work together. |
|
I can do more than complain, but 9/12/01 was this century and this united and proud stuff is a rerun of the same bullshit.

We do not need to pain t halos or horns on Obama, he has lost chess, as well as won, but for now, for tonight, can't we all be happy that one of the main bad guys lost?

But your view is a simplistic one.
I'm painting no horns as you put it. The spirit of DU today is remarkable. Your national pride has been restored.
