Obama's Speech

Remember that time I redefined the debate about the budget? That was awesome.

It was very good.  Intelligent naturally, but also clear.

The capitulation that the Left was anticipating with a mixture of dread and masochistic glee did not happen.

Obama laid out a clear difference between the GOP priorities and his priorities.  While I don't agree with him that "together we can get things done" I think it's a great marker in the debate.

Clearly, Obama reads this blog.

Clearly.

UPDATE: This is hilarious.  For all the crowing about the GOP spending cuts and all the handwringing about how Obama sold progressive causes down the river, the real impact of the $38B in cuts this year?  About $350M.  For Andrew Sullivan's sake let me explain: That is less.
