amen. hate to be one of those "this will be the end of the administration" types but if he doesnt step up his base will have lost all faith.
ill put it in basketball terms that perhaps he can understand. time to untuck that polo shirt from your sweatpants (worst gym look ever, btw) and man up. nike cant strong arm some videographer when you get repeatedly posterized by the likes of chuck grassley. you cant just show up in a contract year and expect to get paid max salary when your bailout percentage is an abomination. enough of this kumbaya shit. think kobe won a championship by letting sasha vujacic launch threepointers from the baseline with every touch. no, he got in his face and bitchslapped him if he even considered it. so time to roll back the clock to an era when players on opposing teams didnt play kissyface before everygame. we need more bill russell and less bill cosby. sure, maybe the suits in the corporate suites wont renew their support. but remember, barry, that it used to be about playing for the real fans, and for the love of the game. *increase volume on sentimental score w/slow mo of crowd rising to their feet in waves of ecstatic applause intercut with images of oprah/dems crying on election eve in grant park*
Not sure if I was ever illusioned to get disillusioned but the "cabinet of rivals" was an alarming beginning: keeping Gates, Hillary to State, bringing Summers back after he set the wreck of the economy in motion in Clinton time. Also this weird jones for Afghanistan. The symbolism has been good on the world image front and ethnic/gender fairness, that's about it.
