That's one of the funniest descriptions of Romney I've heard.

“Herman Cain says funny things. He’s not going to be the Republican
nomination for president. I mean, what he is is a national
distraction. Maybe not a bad one in this horrific recession, but let’s
be real.”

Carville also blasted Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney
for being “a serial windsock” who was destined to win the nomination.

“Any time that you turn around, he’s — it’s something else,” Carville
explained. “Once he uses any kind of adjective in front of it, you
know he’s getting ready to flip-flop. If he’s very committed to it,
that means that he’s going to change positions. And if he’s 110
percent for something, that means that he's changing positions.”

Romney is the quintessential empty suit.

It is really pretty hard to find a rational republican to take on
Obama since he has staked out most of the traditional GOP positions
for himself
It is hard to make the case that Obama as anti business when he has
done just about everything the 1% wants him to do and went back on
virtually every campaign promise that set him apart from GWB.
This is Bush 44.
Even is much vaunted health care reform was nothing but a big handout
to the insurance companies. That is not surprising since a couple of
Well Point lobbyists wrote the bill in Max Baucus' office. (not me
saying that. Howard Dean says it)
The wars continue to grind on, following the Bush timetable. Too bad
Bush did not establish an exit plan for Afghanistan.

Which is why I'm completely flabberghasted that the Republicans won't
go along with a single thing he does. He, like Clinton, are good
friends of the Republicans.

I think what it comes down to is that they don't like him ****ing
things up when they can do it better themselves.

I agree. I liked Obama in 2007 but it was clear by 1q08 that he had
drunk the KoolAde. He abandoned his public financing pledge and just
became another empty suit, for sale to the highest bidder. In Obama's
case. Goldman Sachs was the highest bidder (fact)
I also agree about Clinton. He was Bush 42.

I'm not as cynical about Obama as you but he was clearly overwhelmed
with the enormity of the job and the responsibilities it required. He
was smart enough to understand the gravity of his decisions. I think
Bush had the advantage of a thick skull and uncle Dick at his side.

Obama has refound his balls more recently and may end up doing some
serious good if he can stomach a good fight. The Republicans can be
pantsed if he's smart about it -- they have the potential to retake
the house.

His problem still lies within his own party, as it always has. You
can't pass legislation if a good percentage of your own people are
owned by special interests who won't go along.

Get the money out is the single most important thing we could
accomplish as a nation. There may be enough passion and momentum
towards that goal to see something earnest happen but that's where my
cynicism starts rolling in. Humans are not into change and campaign
finance reform is going to be a bitter pill for a lot of folks.
