Fortune Favors The Bold

There are two parts to politics. First there’s talking and maneuvering, posturing and positioning. Then there’s doing. Recently the Democrats seem to have found their voice again. Obama can give a speech, we all know that, and for the most part his State of the Union was spot on in saying what needed to be said. He called out Republican obstructionism, at times vented populist anger, and reiterated his commitment to the sweeping change he promised, and was elected to deliver.
