“You do realize that Washington DC is not the real world, don’t you?”

[sheshe2]

You do realize that Washington DC is not the real world, don’t you? It’s a state of mind. An altered state of mind. Where you’re damned if you do and damned if you don’t. Slammed when you stand and rammed when you run. Berated if you lie and lambasted for the truth. Where even the slightest of breeze can carry the pollen of disaster. And the pack on top knows the best way to avoid getting a face full of disaster pollen is to spread the dried residue of other exquisite catastrophes first. Ream or be reamed.

And as far as DC stories go, a lack of misfortunes is no good reason not to speak of them. So now the Washington punditry has banded together to float the notion that President Obama’s second term agenda has stalled. That he’s such a lame duck the presidential limousine should be sporting a blue placard hanging from the rear view mirror. Best thing to do is to burrow deep and lie low. Give up and crawl into the overhead compartment of Air Force One and eat marzipan in the dark.

Now. Already. 4 months in, with 44 left to go. Holey moley, guys. You left the movie before the opening credits rolled. More stuff happens after the overture, you know. Have you ever made it through an entire entrée? Would hate to be your date at a baseball game; you sound like the kind of people who leave between the top and bottom halves of the second inning. Must be Dodger fans.

It takes a special kind of degenerative myopia to craft these precocious accusations. First off, you need to be blind as an Oedipal bat to ignore the exhaustingly recalcitrant House Majority, including leader John Boehner, who would rather be seen washing skid mark undies in a Congressional hallway water fountain, than work with the President.

Thank you Will Durst!

"Boehner, who would rather be seen washing skid mark undies in a Congressional hallway water fountain, than work with the President." That says it all.

3. I guess Mr. Durst has never been to a Dodger game. The crowd doesn't SHOW UP until the 3rd inning.

And to beat the traffic home, they leave during the Seventh Inning Stretch.

5. Will Durst's piece is Funny! All I can say, she, is that it's a

damn good thing President Obama is lazer focused and has a brilliant shield that boomerangs gopropaganda shite right back at in their collective face.

Just because gopos like bush are lame ducks has nothing to do with a Democratic President like Obama who actualy does his job.

Thanks she!

6. Brilliant and inconveniently true.

As usual, the people who need to hear this won't.

7. Actually he is stalled out. That's reality from the field...

And Democrats like me and my friends see it.

Nothing of consequence on the horizon. Big fucking HC disaster shit...but anything else? No, just fighting off new shit from Republicans he should of kicked in the ass long ago.

8. Agreed

I do not see anything progressive capable from the President at this point....And that's a damn shame.

All I hear in my precincts is guns, guns, guns....

The national Democrats need to shut the fuck up about guns if they want to survive these mid-terms with any kind of capable governance. This is true all over the south, Midwest and scattered regions...We need to learn from 1994 and drop this shit.....It does not work nationally...

Remember, when the 2014 elections are over, I'll resurrect this post and point this out.
