There's far two much hand-wringing going on around here. Political junkies like us are trapped in a bubble. We live and breathe this stuff, so of course, every little bump in the road seems like a sink hole.

To everyone else, they look at what's going on in Washington and see the crazies and the assholes against those, like Obama, who seem reasonable and concerned about the country. It's much, much clearer out there than it is inside this bubble.
