Chris Matthews makes sense (really) | |

What bothered me about him [today] he keeps talking about common ground. Damn it, there's very little common ground between left and right, but what there is is compromise. You do something for me on minimum wage, I'll do something for you in corporate tax reform. You give me something on corporate tax reform and I'll get rid of some of the loopholes or I'll do something on trade for you. He never talks about trading and compromising, he always talks about common ground. Well, damn it, you can not run a government on common ground. | |

#5 From working in ciphers, I can tell you any string of gibberish will have words and phrases appear, at random. It means nothing. |

#4 Obama doenst compromise. Because throughout his entire likfe if little Barry didn't get what he wanted, all he had to do was stomp his feet and throw a tantrum, and his betters would give him what he wanted. College? Sure, affirmative action and (possibly) register you as a foreign student to get more assistance and slack in class. Professorship? Sure, we'll let you be the editor, just don't write anything. Illinois political job? Sure, work with these former terrorists - they will show you how to organize mobs and rig votes. Election? Sure, we'll get you in the Illinois legislature by pushing out someone to clear the way. Just don't do anything controversial - vote "present" to stay away from hard decisions. US Senate? No problem, we'll leak all kinds of dirt on your opponent from sealed court records from his divorce with a famous actress. Presidency? Press will do what we tell them to, never call you out, and on top of that they will savage the Republicans for you, so you can run a "positive" campaign, leave all the nasty negatives to us. Run on vapor, "Hope and Change". Dont do anything in office other than stick to progressive things. |

#3 Makes sense from the Dems point of view because the republicans are pretty bad horse traders. |

#1 Of course the irony here is that Chrissie gets the tingle and can't figure out the connection between blind submission to "the one" and the arrogant narcissism he critiques here. Anyone with half a brain knew 6 years ago what Zero was like. You asked for it Chrissie, you got it. |
