A Washington Where Every Day Is Election Day

Attack the Republicans for lack of leadership on the national stage? “Just saying no to everything may be good short-term politics, but it’s not leadership.” No matter what your opinion is of the RNC, it stands that they had no ability to even exert leadership over the Congress, as they were so outnumbered in both the House and the Senate. So they resisted the DNC’s health care overhaul? It is a terrible, terrible idea in its current form and it was good leadership to not support that Frankenstein of a bill.

It would have been nice to get a speech about the real State of the Union, and not another campaign diatribe. I am not surprised by what happened yesterday night, but it does make me sad. We did not see a commander-in-chief giving a speech about where our country is going, we saw a candidate ramping up for a 2012 election. The problem is, when all those promises of reform go unfilled, who can he blame besides himself?

Everyone.
