NOT. ONE. INCH.

Mr. President, you're in the driver's seat on a rutted, twisting, pothole-riddled road winding along the side of a mountain, next to a precipice.

In the back seat are a bunch of drunken, selfish, entitled sociopaths, bitching about every turn and bump, when they are the ones who drove the vehicle off the mountainside to begin with.

The road is getting worse.

The pressure to change course mounts with every incoherent burble of rage from behind you.

The rest of us-- back here in the trailer?

Shit, man.... Those fuckers in the back seat just tried to cut us loose, over the edge!

Keep driving, Mister President.

Keep your eyes on the road.

Keep your hands on the wheel.

Stay the course.

Do not deviate.

NOT.

ONE.

INCH.

determinedly,
Bright

If the GOP wants to destroy the world and not raise the Debt ceiling---Voting will happen one day. We will vote in a Democratic Senate. A Democratic House. And a Democratic President.

This is our chance to DESTROY the GOP and the Republican party permanently!

Don't move Reid! Pelosi! Obama. DON'T MOVE A MILLI-INCH!
