we've got another Obamaczar. this is the most dysfunctional management structure ever created. I'll give it a year before if falls in on itself.
and have you noticed how populist his rhetoric has become lately, and how if you don't agree with him, you are no longer worthy of "reaching across the aisle", or "unity", or "healing". you are a dirty lobbyist, or corporate toady, and if you aren't actually a criminal, you are at vet least beneath his dignity. that's a lot of sanctimonious bullshit right there.
and I wish he would stop telling everyone that he won his election. so did every single one of the republicans that intend to oppose his government takeover of the healthcare industry. they also have constituents, and not all of them are obamagasmic about selling the country off to the central government because the most unqualified individual to ever hold the office of president thinks that it's the thing to do.

“I realize that there are those who simply don't believe Washington can bring about this change, and the odds are long,†Obama said.
“But I also know this. I didn't come to Washington to take the easy route or to work for the powerful and the well-connected interests who have run this city for too long,†Obama continued. “I came here to work for the American people. I came here to deliver the sweeping change that they demanded when they went to the polls in November.â€
