So, last night Lawrence O'Donnell analyzed President Obama's strategy and today, Mitch McConnell made the next move. Yes, I just said that Lawrence O'Donnell's MSNBC show last night was a prime mover in the debt ceiling debate. I'm just about floored. Did I just get smarter? I'm reading the comments in response to Gawker's story on this... and did progressives just get smarter? Yes, the kids are still drumming their heels and railing against class warfare (which it is, and it definitely deserves lots of protests) but did the rest of us just acknowledge that President Obama has to make a deal, and he has to make a deal with some of the most reprehensible people on the planet, and he has to make a deal that independents can live with. Because if he doesn't, he cannot win 2012.
You know what? The world just got more exciting and way more bearable. I cannot wait until President Obama's next move.
Ignorance was not bliss; it made me sad and angry and frustrated. This, I can live with.
