So why can't Obama do this? He has had 4.25 years of practice and has yet to get it right.

He's all over the bored (sic).

She concluded her round-up of Republican flip-flops by observing that Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) had introduced legislation to outlaw abortion without exception, only to say less than a week later that he believed there should be “thousands” of exceptions.

Here is the difference between the democratic versus republican plans to balance the budget. It can best be described by an analogy: Democrats are like people who want to lose weight by drinking diet soda with their fast food, super sized combo meal. Republicans want to lose weight by sawing off an arm or leg. Most rational folk find themselves somewhere in the middle of these extremes. Consume a balanced diet and exercise. But here we are.
