The GOP would like something all new and refreshed to trash and destroy, but they will take what they can get. They are like kids who take someone's new toys, rip them apart and complain that you don't have more for them to grab. I think they should be sent to the Willy Wonka factory.

I think the article makes some good points, and I do believe that Obama is doing fairly well with the dysfunctional mess that passes for our Congress today. He is more concerned about the long view, and the GOP seems to have a severe case of attention deficit disorder and a very loose hold on reality.
