lol he said the same thing in 2008. He can't do anything major without congress.

Maybe he should focus on getting some kind of decent energy legislation passed first.

Had to check to see if that was a real Drudge headline. Instead all I could find was people mad because Obama tweeted during church.

From the comments:

"Ahh, so now we see the truth. Everybody loves the First "Lady" but she is really just as arrogant and secretly snide as her husband and it shows that she has nothing but contempt for white people. It's a deep seated hatred for white culture and you can see it just simmering in her when she thinks she is off camera. Isn't it funny how the Obama's never apologized for the Jeremiah Wright stuff? It's because they believe in all of it and this entire presidency is an attempt to destroy whites and redistribute wealth to minorities and disarm us against the dark tyranny that will come in less than two years time.

And you liberals eat it up and think its funny and you laugh, and snark, and all the while these monsters are dismembering your country. You are complicit in the destruction of United States of America and are traitors to everything it stands for."

THE ECONOMY:
 
The big issue President Obama barely talked about in his inauguration speech yesterday: unemployment. http://vlt.tc/o3x  “Today's jobless rate, 7.8 percent, is precisely what it was when Obama first took the oath of office in January 2009. It's even worse; if you combine the unemployed with those who are working part-time but want a full-time job, and those who have been too discouraged to look recently, the figure is 14.4 percent, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. That is a desperately bad situation. People know it. In poll after poll, Americans list jobs and the economy as the issue most important to the country. They've been saying the same thing every day Barack Obama has been in office. And yet, in his inaugural address the president said essentially nothing about the nation's most pressing problem. Why? Because he didn't have to. His base supporters – loyalists and activists who would declare war on a Republican president with a similar unemployment rate – continue to give Obama a pass on joblessness. There are other issues, like immigration reform, climate change and raising taxes, that excite them more than economic recovery.”  The grand bargain is kaput.
 
Obama accepts the Washington way. http://vlt.tc/o51  “This was not the politician who campaigned in 2008 on themes of transcending the divisive politics of the past, though there were ritual calls for the country and its political leaders to seize this moment together. Instead, it was a president who has accepted the reality of those divisions and is determined to prevail on his terms.” That’s why his agenda over the next two years will be more about those other issues, and little in the way of even an attempt to get the economy moving again – it’s about the base who came out for the inauguration this time, not the twice as large crowd that came out in 2008. And voters are expecting it: “Sixty percent say they do not expect to make major economic strides during Obama’s second term, compared to just 38 percent who expect to be better off in 2016.”  http://vlt.tc/o36  He is, after all, too busy “perfecting America.” http://vlt.tc/o4z
 
You can read the full speech here. http://vlt.tc/o44  The full bore endorsement of liberalism and “collective action” is being hailed by the New Yorker as “centrist Obama coming out as a liberal.” http://vlt.tc/o46  Coming out? What presidency have they been watching for the past four years? From my perspective, this is completely consistent with his approach for the past four years: talk of togetherness, double-down on government-centered solutions, govern through creating division. http://vlt.tc/o47  Yet of his liberal wet-dream list of policy aims, few other than immigration strike me as easy wins. http://vlt.tc/o4a  The one that is the least likely to succeed in any sense is his attempt to do something on climate – environmentalism is a luxury good, and he’d need a better economy to get that done. http://vlt.tc/o4b

I got to see a bit of the inauguration way back by the Washington monument yesterday morning before heading to the airport. Absolute insantiy, but I'm glad we did it.

We saw Obama's speech on the big video screens on the mall, and then hopped on the metro to Reagan.

Then stepped up Bob Schieffer.

Speaking on a special Jan. 16 edition of CBS News, the host said this of the obstacles to passing legislation: “Surely passing civil rights legislation, as Lyndon Johnson was able to do, and before that, surely defeating the Nazis was a much more formidable task than taking on the gun lobby.”

Heads on Fox started to fizz. When Hannity played the clip on his show, he followed it up with a clip from Rush Limbaugh, who asked: “Is there room for that in our discourse today?” Limbaugh called it “over-the-top defamation.”

Think of if conservatives had used that language to describe liberals,” said The Five host Dana Perino, apparently unaware of her employer’s programming the last few weeks. “There would be collective outrage on the front page of the papers and demands for people to resign and apologize.”

Holy shit these people are trolls.

Yeah, but I don't see him abolishing filibusters completely for all time, so it's a total bust and he deserves to be dragged out into the street and publicly beaten.

Virginia State Senate Moves Ahead on Electoral College-Rigging Bill
Quote
Look at the map from 2012. Mitt Romney won the 1st (53%), 4th (50%), 5th (53%), 6th (59%), 7th (57%), 9th (63%), and 10th (50%) districts. Barack Obama won the four remaining districts -- the 2nd (50%), 3rd (79%), 8th (68%), and 11th (62%). Had the Carrico plan been in place in 2012, Mitt Romney would have won nine of Virginia's electoral votes, and Barack Obama would have won four -- even though Obama won the popular vote of the state by nearly 150,000 ballots, and four percentage points.

It gets worse. You'll notice that the 2nd, 4th, and 10th districts were squeakers, with margins between 4000 and 5000 votes. Carrico's theory is that an electoral vote split would made rural areas more vital. But these districts cover the Tidewater region and the exurbs of Washington, D.C. One: Had Obama campaigned to win them, in particular, he wouldn't have necessarily focused on anything that didn't work statewide. Two: Had won them, he would taken eight electors to Mitt Romney's five. Winning Virginia wouldn't have been worth 13 votes. It'd have been like taking New Hampshire or Rhode Island. That's because this reform is designed to disenfranchise Democrats, not make the state more important.

This happened just the other day:

While the eyes of the nation were turned toward President Barack Obama’s second inauguration on Monday, the Virginia State Senate managed to hurriedly pass a bill that would redistrict the state’s senate seats.

The vote, 20-19, would have been a tie had Democratic Senator Henry Marsh been present. Marsh, a civil rights leader, was in Washington, D.C., attending the inauguration.

How low can this party sink? I thought we'd seen the bottom in the two year leading up to the election, but I guess losing again has taught the Republicans the lesson that they only just need dig a little bit deeper into that bedrock.
