"Not going to happen"? Guess what: It already fucking happened.

110. Don't get me wrong, I was just as pissed

But I refuse to believe that anything will come of it. Hence, the long game.

President Obama wants to go down in the history books as the greatest. As transformational. He's institutionalized change in many areas and looks like he might even get more of it on gun control. Getting the big nut on anything is impossible unless all GOTea are rounded up and sent to Gitmo. He get his issues across the finish line and that's where they can be built up and refashioned. Again, he plays the long game.

And he has surprised me at every turn. I've thrown my hands in the air as much as anyone here but in the end, he gets SOMETHING done. Is everything perfect? No. But they are starting points where none existed before.

Oh, I don't care if you don't buy my "excuse" because it's not one. I can tell you that I've manipulated millions of people in my advertising career in similar ways. You want to create demand for something that's taken for granted? Tell everyone it's going bye-bye. BOOM! Instant demand. Don't buy that? Did you get yourself a Twinkie?

I'm pleased as punch that everyone is up in arms. I know I'll be fighting to get more Progressive Dems in office in my red state. What will I be saying? How 'bout this: "These Repubs are forcing the President to serve up YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY in exchange for stabilizing the economy. We need them and moderate Dems OUT. Get off your butt. It's. Your. Last. Chance."

So please, rally everyone you know to be as pissed at PBO as possible. He doesn't care. He doesn't have to run again. Get the couch potatoes off their asses. Numbers are the only thing that will take down gerrymandering. Get them involved. Get them ready to battle.

This one matters. 2014 or bust. Literally.
