Obama is reasserting what's good about civilization after 8 years of Dubya's callous disregard for just about all of civilization.

It's odd, too, that the so-called "moderate" Republicans have been so profoundly silent these last 8 years. It seems to me they just formed a reclusive little cadre in a church basement somewhere while upstairs all around them, Jim Inhofe and Saxby Chambliss burned their villages to the ground.

Shame on 'em.
