I have to say we've been stuck in this terrible cycle for some time now of our government constantly doing the wrong thing at the exact wrong time. It seems that whatever decision that needs to be made they do the exact opposite of what they should do.

Sadly many of the things I thought of Obama before we elected him president have proven to be true...he is a mediocre mid-level bureaucrat that has neither the savvy nor the fire to hold the job he does and will mainly just get out of the way when called upon to do so. To be more blunt...I thought he was a guy that could be bought and sold and for the most part the same people that had their hooks in the last guy have their hooks in this guy.

You know I watched the videos Dan posted from The Daily Show and while they were very funny and also somewhat informative the real big moment comes not when the gun advocate moron makes stupid remark after stupid remark but when the guy that works for Harry Reid just blatantly admits that the key aspect of being a politician is to get reelected. To protect the caucus. To water down or kill legislation that you are pretending to back if you know it will harm your chances of reelection. I mean the guy does not even seem to think when he says it there is anything wrong with it...because that is the attitude there.

That's party politics at it's finest and most destructive.

Of course Marc probably breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that because it may have finally dawned on him that there are no elected politicians in DC that want to enact stricter gun laws never mind take anybody's guns away. It was all just bullshit to pretend they actually wanted to do something.

Of course most of us knew this but for Marc that was probably...like...the voice of the Almighty speaking to him.
