    Totally consistent, achieving the same quality of result across the board and across time.
    The #SurpriseNotSurprise will be when Valerie Jarrett decrees that Her Majesty is un-viable as a candidate, and Michelle Obama steps forward to relieve her husband.
    • Oh man! Millions of heads popping like balloons! What a sight!

      So then you were either expecting him to be more conservative than Reagan, or not paying attention. Which was it?

      I will admit that while I was not optimistic enough to expect a great heroic liberal leap forward from his administration, I was not expecting a great conservative fall backwards, either.

          So tell me, what did he do - or who did he associate with - that showed he actually wanted to bring about Reaganomics 2.0 instead of Camelot 2.0? And if his record in the senate was so completely counter to his campaign, why did nobody call him out on it while he was on the campaign trail? By comparison, when Joh
