One thing about the Obama White House: you can’t fault them for a lack of optimism. Obama has been operating on little more than “hope” for three years now, with rosy predictions of economic improvement just around the corner. Back in June 2010, the president kicked off “recovery summer” with “groundbreakings and events across the country.” When that recovery failed to materialize, he insisted that we were just going through a “soft patch.” We’re still in that soft patch, which is starting seem more like an endless swamp.

“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.”
— Marcus Tullius Cicero
(106-43 B.C.) Roman Statesman, Philosopher and Orator
