2540.\\ The Obama Contradiction

One of my favorites slices and dices the State of the Union address. Peggy always has a way of going beyond what other pundits have to say and putting the subject within a broader, more meaningful context.

Best bit:

"The central fact of the speech was the contradiction at its heart. It repeatedly asserted that Washington is the answer to everything. At the same time it painted a picture of Washington as a sick and broken place. It was a speech that argued against itself: You need us to heal you. Don't trust us, we think of no one but ourselves."

Exactly.
