Apparently, Obama's speech in Tucson was roundly praised while the "show" was roundly criticized by the conservative media. (If you watched Jon Stewart last night.)
Obama's ability to keep his liberal fan base in a state of delusional self-satisfaction by slipping them the occasional rhetorical bone remains undimmed by two years of unambiguous and wholly contradictory reality. If all it takes is a few choice samples from Obama's infinite stock of anodyne cliches to [them] into fits of rapture (as is their wont) , I can only imagine the kind of breathless prose we're going to be subjected to during the reerection campaign.
Man is the only animal that deals in that atrocity of atrocities, War. He is the only one that gathers his brethren about him and goes forth in cold blood and calm pulse to exterminate his kind. ... And in the intervals between campaigns he washes the blood off his hands and works for 'the universal brotherhood of man'-- with his mouth.
-- Mark Twain, The Damned Human Race
....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
