Dream On

"It's not that Republicans are bad guys. This is just the bet they've made. They're going to put their chips on movement in the 35 seats in the House that have been traditionally Republican districts and trying to take them back," Biden said, according to the White House pool report.

"If they take them back, this the end of the road for what Barack and I are trying to do. This is their one shot," he went on. "If they don't break the back of our effort in this upcoming election, you're going to see the things we said we're for happen."

If Democrats can keep those seats, he said, Congress will finally see bipartisanship.

You lie!

Pipe us up another dream, Joe. We are pretty gullible.

The GOP will never be bipartisanship. And they will never quit trying to break the Democrats, which shouldn’t be all that difficult given the Democrats’ limp weenies.

The thing that's sad in the whole mess is this: Obama seems like a guy who just wants to be a superstar. He’s happy with grand exposure. He made it to the top. No one who doesn’t suffer can actually be a “great man” and do “great” things, and Obama doesn’t strike me as someone who suffers. (Nor did George W. nor Slick Willie before him, and perhaps no one since Eisenhower. Our world has become too enamored of rock stars and entertainment. Politicians singing karaoke and partying on stage. Presidents doing late night TV and showing off guitar and saxaphone skills. Tom DeLay trying to act like a 'wild thing' on 'Dancing'!)

In the end, there doesn’t seem to be any real concern about America, or people, coming out of Washington. Politics is a team sport and winning is all that matters. The unfortunate result of that could be that Obama will piss away the opportunity he was handed to make some difference and go happily on to his future as an ex-president, and the US of A will continue its march forward as a machine that grinds up the world to enrich soulless men.

They're all bad guys.

....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
