Reactions to Carney’s State of the State

I listened. When you hear him speak, it is so plodding and dopey that you have to wonder if it is an act. A Forest Gump impression designed to lower expectations. An “under promise” set up for an “over deliver” approach to governing. Then you see him in action and you realize that is is no act.

The defining characteristic of most modern politicians is cowardice. They are scared of everything, most especially the opinions of the people they supposedly serve. That's in the best of times.…

Comment Rescue: All due respect, WTF Tom?

The comment below is thought provoking. It isn't provoking the right person (Tom Carper) but it provoked me to think about why Tom Carper is running yet again? He doesn't need the money. Public life has made him richer than the most decadent sultan of the old Ottoman Empire. He doesn't have some burning desire to take on the GOP. That truth is established on a daily basis. He doesn't have corporate paymasters that need to be further enriched. Certainly after this most recent tax "reform" even his most rapacious corporate paymasters are saying "enough already." What is it? Why doesn't Carper retire?
Tom Carper is riveting, watching him or reading the text of an interview one is overcome with the greatness of this man. Term limits? And we hold up these Senator for life types as role models for countries suffering from Politicians/Strongmen for Life. Tom look long and hard at Matt Denn’s decision.
