Looks like it is Obama time. It was vintage Obama on the stump today in Cantor territory.

I sat here and cheered as Obama "stuck it to" the Rs today as he spoke in Cantor's back yard. And then I cheered some more as Chris Mathews a couple of hours later stuck it to the Rs some more by making positive comments about Obama's speech while on-screen text listed all the bridges in Cantor's state (VA), one after another, that are dangerously in need of repair.

Apparently the switch boards in DC lit up when Obama encouraged people from VA to contact their elected politicos to encourage them to stop playing politics and get to work for their constituents.

How do we encourage MSNBC and people such as Mathews to follow the same format when reviewing Obama's speeches, as Obama moves around the country, to list bridges and roads in need of repair so as to really get the sometimes too lazy electorate actively involved and make their dissatisfaction known?

The next few months could become very interesting . . . .
