He is offically in for '08.
I dig him.

"I say to John Kerry: I love you John Kerry, and I'm so sorry that things didn't work out for our country."

Harry Reid said that yesterday, but I concur.
The man is a class act, and the USofA doesn't deserve to have him as its President.
Massachusetts does deserve to have him as Senator.

"This is only the beginning."

Summary from Speaker Pelosi's blog entry on Huffingtonpost.com:

HR 1: Enacted provisions of the 9/11 Commission after 2 1/2 years of inaction by Republican Congress.
HR 2: Minimun wage increase passed, after 10 years of Republican inaction.
HR 3: Passed extended stem cell research provisions, despite inaction by Republicans for fear of offending pro-life righties.
HR 4: Passed changes to Medicare, allowing for negotation with Pharmacutical corporations to lower drug prices. A shortcoming of the Repub Medicare changes passed previously.
HR 5: Cut interest rates on student loans. This just makes good sense. "No Child Left Behind" notwithstanding.
HR 6: Cut subsidies and tax breaks to Repubilcan's oil friends, and invest in renewable energy.

Now, let's talk about the Iraq War and the evil that Republicans do...ALWAYS.

"We have a new strategy with a new mission: Helping secure the population, especially in Baghdad.”

This is the same old spinning word games on the same old "stay the course" strategy. And then there was this sameoldsameold gem from today's address: "To oppose everything while proposing nothing is irresponsible.”

Coupla things. Securing the people of Baghdad is not a new idea. It may be new to W, but it certainly has been thought of previously. Second, Democrats and Republicans alike have been proposing strategic ideas for YEARS that differ from the President's same old strategy. W's assertion that his opposition has proposed nothing is a huge lie. It is either a lie of ignorance or a bald-faced, knowing twist on the truth to smear opponents.

Now, I think W and his inner circle are more evil than ignorant but intelligent liberals can disagree about such things. I might be able to accept the premise that the W-ites are simply too stupid and insulated to have heard other ideas, but I tend to lean toward the notion that they have heard the other ideas, dismissed them outright, and are now righteously acting as if the plans never existed.

Remeber, WE voted this evil into power. We now eat the poo they feed us.
