what would have seemed the height of arrogance 4 years ago when bush even commenting on the fact that he had won was tantamount to treason, is now just obama being obama.
it's like, totally not arrogant

I'm terribly sorry, but I can't get past this line without snickering:

“How can you spend hundreds of millions of dollars on contraceptives?” Boehner asked. “How does that stimulate the economy?”

Boehner said congressional Republicans are also concerned about the size of the package.
It doesn't really help that the guy's name is 'Boehner,' either.

Did he say it was a mandate? I remember that's why my biggest issue was, back in the day, that a slim margin of victory would be considered some sort of mandate. I'd feel the same if Obama said his win was a mandate.

He won? Really? So he earned political capital and he can spend it now? So elections have consequences? Really? They told us that like 43,000 times the last two elections but I guess I never really thought about it. How much did this guy win by, exactly? Was it one of those really-lost-if-you-count-all-
the-votes victories where you had to get the Supreme Court to pick you or one of those win-by-3-percentage points victories that earned the last president so much political capital?

Papa--I believe what President Obama MEANT to say was "Suck it."
