Too little, too late?

Just when I was getting really depressed about the Sharron Angles, the Christine O'Donnells, the Kelley Ayottes sweeping aside their Democratic opponents, just when I thought our Country could not look any worse, I turned on C-SPAN-2 watched Prime Minister's Questions.

If you want to know what real despair is, just watch those English politicians go at each other and then think of what political exchanges in America are like,  and you will want to slit your wrists and jump out the window.


When did we acquire all the mutants?  Why can the Brits, who don't even have a constitution, do democracy so well when all we can do is dumb ourselves down even dumber than before?

But then, a ray of light.  What followed that hour of erudite, spirited, funny and substantive exchange in the British Parliament, was our very own American President, speaking to a rally in Columbus, Ohio.  


If only Obama were running against Sharron Angle in Nevada, or Christine in Delaware, or even Kelley Ayotte, here in New Hampshire.  He would sweep the floor with them.

I know the pundits are saying all the Dems have to run away from Obama because he's so unpopular now, and he is a stain on them.  But he has finally re emerged as the guy who can speak the truth and expose the scoundrels. Given 'em Hell Harry Truman was a piker compared to Obama in full. 


He says the Republicans are counting on amnesia. They put us into the worst recession since the Great Depression, massive unemployment, unregulated banks who were so busy lining the pockets of their board of directors and CEO's they didn't care what they did to the country, and they didn't care if insurance companies raped their customers or what the credit card companies did and the Republican response was give tax breaks to millionaires and let's go back to trickle down, and let's get the rich richer so they can give jobs to the middle class they've been starving out for decades. 

Whew! So why didn't he say that before? And why isn't that speech playing every night during all the baseball play off games and during every football game and in every bar room and airport lounge? 

What have the Democrats been thinking?  

You got a star. All they got is John Boehner and a bunch of women in bright colored dresses.
