Captain of the Washington Generals
Between the election of Scott "My Name-Is-Scott-Brown-and-I-Drive-a-Truck" Brown, and the Supreme Court's unmuzzling of that amoral, insatiable beast we euphemistically call the American Corporation, this has been a devastating week for Barack Obama, the Democrats, and in fact, for all Americans.
This is also the pivotal moment in Obama's presidency. If he doesn't get it by now, if he doesn't find the wherewithal to start living up to the grand and incessant promises of change he made during his campaign, and damn soon, he can forget about 2012 — just like the Democrats in Congress can forget about 2010.
And the rest of us can forget about the America we learned about in school.
