Barack Obama has been at this for a year. We've all watched as the noble speeches congealed into doughy inaction too often already. He has stumbled and he has bungled, and he's probably going to see a lot of his margin for error erased in the midterm elections in November. He still overrates the American people as a political commonwealth, and he remains resolutely determined to seek out the good in a political opposition that wants his head on a plate. But, last night, it became clear that he'd better know what he's doing, for all our sakes, because last night, he was the baddest ass on the block, and the only president in the hall.
Charlie Peirce nailed it.
Funny, and enlightening, read. Enjoy!
