We will have to ride out this pResidency and hope to high hell that the producers can prevail in the next. If not, then I not only predict bloodshed but know that I and others are prepared for it.
Don't get me wrong, I also recognize that you are one of the good guys!
“I appreciate your verve but if you expect Congress to be your weapon against Obama and the powers that control him...Well, bonne chance, mon ami, bonne chance!”
Merci, ami. I do not expect Congress to be our weapon; I expect we will at least initially have to fight to be heard. I expect when Congress is reminded what happened in November in 2010, of our long memories, of our willingness to work to oust those who don’t represent us but who are willing to take in our name the salary and the perquisites we provide them, they will either choose to be useful in representing the will of their electorate (us), choose to resist in hopes others will continue to support their political lives, or will be removed from office, from lobbyists’ attention and generosity, and from the D.C. social scene they’ve grown to love.

We have other options besides just riding this out. We’ve hunkered down long enough already, and have seen that this actually requires action from us, not wishful thinking for the arrival of an easier future, one that, if wishing and hoping alone made it so, would already be here. If you expect and prepare for what you are saying, I know you take the seriousness of all this with gravity. So we’ll get it started, and you can just wish us well now that you’ve told us your concerns and doubts in what we can achieve, but you’re always welcome to get involved in this at some later point. And if we fail, you can always remind us that you told us it wasn’t even worth trying, and we’ll respect your foresight.

Thanks, likewise.
