President Obama was on his game today.

And the President speaks in front of crowds that look like America.

    LOL,
    Sane America was protesting in DC.

    “And the President speaks in front of crowds that look like America.”

    Are you trying to imply that the folks protesting in DC don’t look like America?

    The crowd looked pretty lilly-white to me.

    But I’m glad they had their protest. They showed America that the teabaggers and the birthers are in lock-step with one another.

    Not that reality-based Americans didn’t already know that.

    Ok is it me, the fine wine I am enjoying, Or did Obama just steal one of GWBush’s “scowls”. Seriously, funnier than hell pause the video at 00:44, Well Bush did get a lot of bills past as president.

    Not to mention lily-stupid.

    Yglesias:

    As was the case with the bulk of the protesters, there was very little sense that anyone had any actual specific complaint with Obama’s health care proposals. That one woman loves the confederacy. This guy thinks guns are great and diversity is stupid. Many protesters feel that abortion is murder and/or that Barack Obama is in league with terrorists. But nobody had a sign urging the president to adopt more stringent cost control measures, or slamming the concept of regulations to require insurers to cover people with pre-existing medical conditions.

    Yeah. If a cause or a protest is mostly white, it is not deserving of credit or legitimacy.

    At all.

    I was at the Minnesota event and the crowd covered the rainbow. While I can’t speak to the intelligence of everybody there, my seat neighbor and I got acquainted by comparing recollections of initiatives past, running all the way back to JFK (earlier ones we relied on historical accounts). Just an aside, the microphone went on the fritz for the two doing the Pledge and the National Anthem. The crowd immediately filled the gap, affirming their patriotism to these United States. A very emotional moment.
