Maher gets it right sometimes, and in this one he’s dead on –
Maher is beginning to tap into the rising tide of frustration with the inability of Congress and President Obama to get things done. Eight months into this Presidency, a lot of time, good will, and effort has been squandered.
If the Democrat Party were operated like a well run corporation, right about now, the entire contingent of elected Democrat officials in the House and Senate would be locked into one of those large conference rooms at the Hermitage for a “Come to Jesus” meeting…
And wouldn’t be let out until there was complete agreement on accomplishing a list of 5 objectives in the following 7 days.
And no – you don’t serve coffee, tea, or those cute little canapes until it’s done.

Unfortunately, it isn’t. Nor do I put any weight into the cajoling of Bill Maher. Bill Maher plays to angst of progressives who smell right-wing blood. As do I, but I keep my expectations based in reality.

The “success” of Obama’s Administration will be counted by one or two major initiatives. The Health Care Reform initiative is his signature accomplishment – regardless of what he does the next 7 years in office.
Second, the stupefying number of things which need to be done after 8 years of the Bushits and conservatives screwing the country into the ground needs one hell of a lot of focus, and concerted take no prisoners effort to make happen. The country isn’t going to dig itself out of the economic crapper, until some of those things are put in place.
This IS a war. It is a war against a broken system created by the mendacity and mediocrity of the right, often aided an abetted by Democrats.

To borrow from the famous football coach Dennis Green, “Obama is who I who I thought he was,” and I so appreciate an intellectual president.
I am beginning to get concerned about whackos. Not for Obama, I think he is safe. I mean for the rest of us.

Which is about a Facebook poll on whether to kill President Obama. That one probably was started by some dumbass kid, but you never know.
