The problem that we face in America is not a lack of good ideas — it’s that Washington has become a place where good ideas go to die.
Barack Obama, in his victory speech tonight in Texas.
I learned the hard way not to make fun of Washington DC in public, but that quote is just delightful. I have a soft spot for “place where things go to die” humor.
That said, this guy needs to learn when to take his applause and just stop talking. His victory speech was like a half hour long. What the dooce?! You sound good, dude, but not that good. You ain’t no Alec Guinness.
Have you seen McCain’s victory speeches? I challenge you to watch an entire speech without falling asleep…. no energy drinks/crack allowed.
