Obama's BS
I'm still mystified by the assumption that Senator Obama is somehow going to charm Republicans into working across the aisle, joining hands with him, and singing a rousing (or calming) chorus of Kum Ba Yah. Since '94, the Repubicans have shown "0" propensity for compromising on anything and as long as they have the power to obstruct the will of the people in favor of their corporate masters and cronies, they will continue to do just that. What has amazed me is their willingness to block legislative initiatives that are overwhelmingly popular with a large plurality of the American people. Their "in your face" arrogance is rivaled only by their incompetence at anything other than obstruction. In that, I believe John Edwards is right; confronting these Bozos is the only way to move the ball down the field. Anything less, and we'll continue to get "more of the same" ... while looking whiney, weak, and impotent.
