I loved how Obama handled it. He more or less acknowledged what everyone was thinking.

Good on him.

Speaking of it being what everyone was thinking, if both sides of the political spectrum are in agreement, why am I seeing so many stories about the awaited republican backlash? Half of all the stories I read this morning were already chastising republicans for an anticipated negative response.

Wouldn't the negative response be to oppose the democrats and support him winning? How is it when both sides agree, one side can still find a way to be critical of the other in the media? Do you ever wonder if it's actually the people feeling this way, this polarized, or is it more like the media trying to fan the flames into something that will be big enough to sell ad space? I am with Obama in being critical of the press.

It should be called the Mexican maid diet.
