Was dreadfully boring.

For a President who's run roughshod over Congress for years...it was lacking any sort of grand vision. The state of our nation, it seems, is not great.

This cartoon is amusing, but the point is not entirely valid. Let's check the results from Obama's huge SC win

About seven in 10 white voters said they would be satisfied if Obama became the nominee; eight in 10 African Americans would be happy with Clinton as the party's choice. But here, too, there were differences in levels of enthusiasm. More than eight in 10 black voters said they would be "very satisfied" with Obama as the party's nominee, but 38 percent of white voters made the same statement.

So at 70% of voters would be happy if the other person was nominated. That sounds about right: there are always a few crazies on both sides, but that should increase as the nomination rolls around. The GOP side...well, I don't feel is the same at all.

I think Marc nails it.

But meters are coming, eventually, and now Fenty has scaled back the fares the city originally announced--and substantially so. Gone are the rush hour and additional passenger surcharges, and down, down come the initial fee and the snow emergency fee. If you're a cabbie in this town, the concept of meters was rough enough, given that they will likely diminish or eliminate Washington's grand tradition of owner-driven independent hacking in favor of the chain operations that dominate the suburban cab business. But now the proposed flag fare drops from $4 to $3 and the other pieces of the overall fare will substantially lower cabbies' income.

Check it out. The comments are rabid against him...I've never seen such venom directed towards a single group of people.
