Bush is as good as gone. The Dems elected a great candidate. The Republican party is in complete disarray from it's leaderless top to the frenzied blamestorming bottom. And those are exactly the changes we needed. So... Mission Accomplished<\/b>. <\/p>\n
I'm done with it. The benefits of winning include leisure. I have no desire to obsess over the daily ins and outs of Obama's presidency. I don't care who he chooses for his cabinet. I don't care about the makeup of any House committee. I don't care what happens to Joe Lieberman. I don't care to parse texts or impromptu remarks for hidden connotations. I don't care to play the game of partisan attack and defend. I don't care. I'm taking three giant steps back. Let Obama do what he's going to do. I'll judge him by the real-world effects of his policies, not by the method he implements them. I'm going to zoom out: to hell with the obsessive microscope; all hail the wide angle. Less politics, more ... something else.<\/p>\n
