Now it takes some temerity for a Republican to charge Obama with divisiveness, given the GOP's willingness to promote or countenance assaults on the president as "a socialist," as someone not even born in the United States, as a supporter of "death panels," and on and on. Republicans calling Obama divisive is the equivalent of those of us who are Red Sox fans criticizing another team for folding under pressure.

Pretty incredible isn't it !?

But what's most instructive is that Ryan would not have given this speech if the GOP were not so worried that it is losing control of the political narrative. In particular, growing inequalities of wealth and income -- which should have been a central issue in American politics for at least a decade -- are now finally at the heart of our discourse. We are, at last, discussing the social and economic costs of concentrating ever more resources in the hands of the top sliver of our society.

This is the reagan revolution at work...trickle down doesn't trickle very well does it?
