He spoke specfically about the checks and balances that are in place in our govt. He said that sometimes because of those checks and balances things go at a snails pace, but that pace allows the Congress or the Exec or Courts to weed out the really weird and bad stuff. I just got the feeling from him as frustration as it was, it's still the best system in the world.

Our Founding Fathers were amazing. When our founders created a system of Checks and Balances they designed a system that would be extremely hard for any "One" person to "fundamentally change America". Obama is now realizing this reality. I don't want Washington to become less partisan. I like the fact that elected reps. stand their ground on issues that they have fundamental disagreements on. Inevitably they will be, as we are seeing, at the will of the populace they have been hired to represent. When Obama, or any one, starts the rhetoric of complaining about the partisanship in DC, I have to laugh because they are actually whining that the system is working to well for their liking.

Absolutely mind-boggling. He's more than tone deaf. He's "frying pan off the side of the head" stone-cold oblivious to the rest of the country. Certainly no FDR in the making here. BTW: totally off topic - I'm up to 4 mi in 29 min on the ellipitcal. Whatcha clockin' in at? Call me incredulous over the rash of bizarre statements coming out of the WH these days:

- It’s tough to be president with a supermajority?

- the real message from MA was that he didn’t speak enough to us about his glorious plan on HC?

- that they’re getting all PMS (no insult to the ladies who handle this better than these guys) about needing to freakin’ CHANGE THE FILIBUSTER rules because they couldn’t get their precious commie agenda passed!?!

Give me a break. I also found last week's escapade to the GOP convention ridiculous. Yeah; let's whine to the Repubs about being obstructionists when you have the supermajority. (And you're doing backroom deals and bribing to get your own party on board.) Yeah, it’s real tough raking in all those millions. Give me a break.
