Sore Loser Michael Gerson Blames Obama, Forgets Himself

I'm sorry, the issue was that Obama told us HE WAS "postpartisan" -that he was above it all-- capable of transcending the hackery and that was why he was presidential material --his central theme!. He was campaigning on change from the status quo, and yet, as it turns out, the highly intelligent, highly educated pol is more-of-the-same we've come to expect in American politics. Or as Jay Cost over at RCP Horseraceblog pointed out, he was either 1)naive or 2)he knew better but went ahead and promised us anyway.

all of the strawmen and red herrings farrell produces still doesn't distract one from the trail. the scent is too strong.

Though I don't view the world as Mr. Farrell does or Mr. Gerson for that matter. To me its all hot air as the lady says, but for me its on both sides. My point is, we are all Americans for now and the time is coming that we will need to rally together because there are storm clouds on the horizon. Economically, socially, and unfortunately militarily. If we don't soon learn to stand together, we may find ourselves without the right to even have this very dialogue!

The Republicans can keep up their petty little charades all they like. They can just let me know when they win an election. Everything else is just hot air.
