"Being a cynic is so contemptibly easy. ...you don't have to invest anything in your work. No effort, no pride, no compassion, no sense of excellence, nothing."

Poor Obama…he’s about to inherit an economy that is worse than we’ve seen in many decades. Regardless of the fact that he is inheriting it, he’s going to take the blame for whatever happens on his watch. He’s got a really tough road a head of him, and I can easily foresee power swinging back to the other party because of this. Especially given his appointment of some “familiar faces,” his change message could easily be muddied due largely to circumstances beyond his control.
