I can’t watch this speech from yesterday without seeing through it into the glaring political errors that this administration has made to bring the country to this point. This, Friends of Freemont, will not go down in history as a game changing moment— a time when our President Barack Obama stood up to the Republicans and took a stand for our future. It will remain the moment the Democrats took a big step back and didn’t play the politics they could have in order to push a reformist agenda. This speech does not speak to Independents who watch as the president awkwardly crowbars into it a line about visiting a burger joint. This is a speech that makes the Fox News agenda point to all the weaknesses and errors that this administration has made over the last year because he’s laid them all out for them, one by fucking one. Underneath this speech of I will fight for you as long as their is a breath in my lungs is that unspoken but: but I won’t fight against the Republicans that have put us here. And that’s just not good enough for me. And it sure as shit won’t be good enough for these Tea Party, Independent fuckwads who need a lesson both in history and in realism. So, who, then, is this speech good for? No one. Because it’s the horse shit nothingness of play-it-safe Democratic politics.
Bashing Republicans is a goddamn great pastime for us leftists. It’s as cleansing as a good, long morning shit. But it’s time to start holding these Democrats more accountable for the bullshit political errors that have brought them and us to this point. I don’t know about you, but I’m not willing to eat this sand they’ve left us in and it’s become goddamn fucking time that we eat these cannibals before they eat us.
