It's the electorate stupid

Patents and Unions: When Good Intentions Go Horribly Wrong - The Washington Post: "Of course, there’s a movement now to reform the patent system, but as we’ve seen over the last few weeks our government isn’t exactly functioning at its best now. It’s hard for me to be optimistic anything will change."

It's the electorate stupid is the proper response to these complaint articles. The President stands ready to do every little and big progressive thing in the world but there is the matter of the electorate. It is a mountain. At the moment it is suffering from mudslides. We need to shore things up. We need to think more deeply than the latest complaints. We need to point the finger where it should point in any democracy worth the name. At ourselves. Nobody ever asks what the President might achieve with an actual majority. And when people say he had it, I say sure. And just look at how loyal they were.
