The Z Spot

So I was really enthused when I read this article about Obama meeting with Republican lawmakers. Then I saw the vote on the stimulus package.

For someone who says he’s not biased along party lines, and wants to incorporate other ideas, he sure did a good job getting every Republican to vote against his stimulus package.

I guess it shouldn’t surprise us that Obama is progressing from all talk and nothing to show for it to all show and nothing getting done about it. Is this really a new kind of politics? Are posed oval office pictures and “closed door” meetings from which picture-perfect quotes are released a new kind of politics?

I feel like Obama is slowly turning the White House into a reality TV show. We’re all waiting to see what happens next, and get a glimpse of his “real” change, but instead, what we’re watching is a carefully scripted and edited production.
