"Today, Americans face a great many challenges, and I hear your desperate calls for barely measurable and largely symbolic improvements in the status quo," said Obama, who vowed never to waver in his fight for every last infinitesimal nudge forward on the controversial issues of torture and the military ban on homosexuals. "Remember: Yes we can, if by that you mean tiptoeing around potentially unpopular decisions that could alienate a large segment of the populace." Washington insiders said that, while the new mottos are certainly in keeping with Obama's pledge of government transparency, they are significantly less catchy. Ruh-roh. During the O campaign, I always wanted to discuss facts and issues. Voting records and accomplishments. In response, I heard Saturday Night Live snippets and stupid smarmy phrases. Now, satire is reversing its direction. Never a good sign. The honeymoon is over. Of course, the satire is merely stating what has been posted in SC for 2 months or so.
