Obama's Fiscal Plan Appeases House Liberals, Sours Republicans

Here's my headline:

"Obama to Republican­s: 'YOU JUST GOT SERVED!"



I know that many progressiv­es have great misgivings about Obama, but he delivered an "in your face Paul Ryan/Ayn Rand" speech today that strongly challenged the Right's sociopathi­c vision for the country in a way I've not seen a President dare do before.



I voted for Obama before, and I'll vote for him again. Unlike some on the Left, I voted for Obama for President, NOT Messiah. Like most African Americans in this country, I've been forced to take a sober account of the "powers that be" in this country. We've never had the privilege or luxury to just assume that our representa­tives could take these powers on without a movement backing them up. We've had to be a great deal more practical in how we view the possibilit­y structure in this country and what's realistic politicall­y.
