If Michael Steele represents a new day in the Republican Party regarding race the first thing he can do is condemn the fact that Ronald Reagan opened his 1980 campaign in Philadelphia, Mississippi, site of the 1964 murder of three civil rights workers.  Or is this another ludicrous attempt by the party of white flight and fright to parade  African-Americans in front of the public as W did at the 2000 Republican convention to pretend that the GOP is a multicultural party? I bet we know the answer to that one already.

Can we now just write off the Republicans in the House and get on with having the Democrats run the country without Obama trying to appease the obstructionists.

Why are Mitch McConnell and John Boehner dictating terms of the stimulus package. Obama won. They lost. We don't agree with their ideas. What is going on?
