KEVIN DRUM SAVES ME SOME TIME

He picked out 6 important points from Pres. Obama's Inaugural Address:
To Mitt Romney: "The commitments we make to each other through Medicare and Medicaid and Social Security....do not make us a nation of takers."
To the climate change denialists: "Some may still deny the overwhelming judgment of science, but none can avoid the devastating impact of raging fires, and crippling drought, and more powerful storms."
To the neocons: "We, the people, still believe that enduring security and lasting peace do not require perpetual war."
To the voter suppression gangs in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and elsewhere: "Our journey is not complete until no citizen is forced to wait for hours to exercise the right to vote."
To the NRA: "Our journey is not complete until all our children, from the streets of Detroit to the hills of Appalachia to the quiet lanes of Newtown, know that they are cared for and cherished and always safe from harm."
To the entire tea party wing of the GOP: "We cannot mistake absolutism for principle or substitute spectacle for politics, or treat name-calling as reasoned debate."

we are not in the midst of an economic recovery. considering the replacement of good jobs by less well paying jobs and the unemployment rate being similar to when he took office, you can give him ten percent in-if you're an optimist.
then there are the blacks who are vying with the working class whites to see who can be more self-deceived in idolizing ruling class con jobs.
(i give you the blacks for example who are paying mortgages for underwater homes when Obama has 45
billion dollars of Tarp money which will go to the Treasury if not utilized. hat tip Pat Lang.)
Goldman Sachs escaped too.
