Barack Obama is a beleaguered rationalist surrounded by foaming nitwits and reactionary sociopaths. As such it is extremely difficult for him to do much of anything; despite which he has forged ahead finding positive steps to take that move the state of the Union forward despite ducking flaming arrows and turd-balls from the less thoughtful mugwumps who dance around just outside the firelight screaming madcap tomfoolery at the top of thier lungs.

I think, myself, he is the best man for the job at the moment, a better President than Bush, Reagan or any of their ilk.

But that's just my opinion. I am sure some people, dear friends whose names will not be named, will be tempted to let go a gasket at the very thought. Pity, that.
