I like how Andrew Sullivan thinks....

The whole article is great, but this paragraph is PERFECT:


.
.
.
Imagine next year. Obama has a healthcare plan and a carbon emissions scheme in place, both of which duck some core difficult questions but are still big moves away from the era of George W Bush. His stimulus, designed to kick in with more force in 2010, helps to push an already recovering economy into growth. The troops begin to come back from Iraq in larger numbers. Stocks maintain momentum; banks keep paying back their bailout money, giving the government a profit; and Obama calls a fiscal-responsibility summit to begin to chart a path back to budget sanity.
.

1. And all the while, we have Beck stirring up the most violent elemtents into a frenzy.
Obama accomplishing the above is exactly why the nutters are getting, well, nuttier. Having a working, functioning society is too much for them. Think about that. Having a functioning government is too much for them to handle. They clearly didn't want a functioning government under GWB, as evidenced by their FEMA actions, etc. And now, under Obama, they are losing their ever-lovin' minds.

What a sad state of existance for them.

7. That's the thing I don't understand about the general public.
Can't they see the projected debt for the country going down tremendously year by year? WTF?

8. To see that, they'd have to read.
And the improper spelling and grammar on those teabagging signs is evidence that these people do not read.

11. If everything goes more-or-less right, that's the sort of thing we're looking at.
Plus the added bonus of the yummyyummy bitter tears from the ihateobama crowd.
