I could bloviate on numerous examples of equally challenging hurdles other administrations have faced, but will offer up just two words: Civil War.
First of all, I have never heard the word 'bloviate' before, but I love it. :)
Yeah, I'll give you the Civil War. And there's even some of the States' Rights stuff still causing trouble today.
As it does me, though likely for different reasons.
Indeed. :D But we're probably about the same level of pissed off, only in opposite directions.
And to this you ascribe as excuse the easiest, most knee-jerk, simple-minded, arrogant, cop-out answer ever. *headdesk headdesk headdesk*
Honest to God, it's been exactly the opposite. I've railed against this possibility for months, saying exactly what you're saying--it can't be racist, that's such a knee-jerk response and I do not do knee-jerk. Seriously, I've been screaming that people who think there's a racist bent to the uberpartisanship politics are nuts. I'm not usually an Occam's Razor type of person. It's only after a lot of thought and pushing away a lot of denial that I've resigned myself to this conclusion. And I would LOVE to be proven wrong.
