    ah, ignorance

    Rebecca. Assuming all goes reasonably well in the next four years, and Obama does meaningful things that improve our collective lot significantly, it'd be great to have you talk to these same sorts of people in two years, or four.

    I'd love to hear them eat their own words. Poor, ignorant Americans. If Obama does even half of what he wants to do, those people are going to be very, very confused.
