I love that line. Absolutely love it.

As for Joe, I think I agree with you for the most part, but I also have a hunch he wants to be more than a caretaker, pedestrian, journeyman who won the presidency over a man who belongs in a straightjacket. Who would want to go out like that after all he's been through?

One thing to remember about Obama, though. He never demonstrated any street creds as a progressive, and anybody who voted for him on that basis wasn't paying attention.

Drop him into the 1970s, and he's a moderate Republican.

Guess how much I paid for my college tuition at a reputable state-run university in 1976.

A bit over $300.

This right wing pendulum has swung as far as it has because people have let it.

AOC, bless her heart, is the first congressional representative we've seen in 40 years who proposes getting us back to the center. Not the left. The center.

Right now, we live in a right wing nation that pays lip service to a few social issues.

Changing that is the real battle. Joe is just an overseer of a broken government.
