WE MUST BRING BACK THE AMERICAN DREAM! No more failure for
many and success reserved for a few (Right, Boehner? Couldn't see his face).
Banks' gambles didn't pay off--we bailed them out and now
they can pay us back with a small fee charged to them for each--(I forget what,
but something that will benefit the rest of us)
There is a division between the District and the rest of the
country. And get this: SEND ME A BILL TO BAN INSIDER TRADING IN CONGRESS AND I'LL
SIGN IT! (Oh. My. God.)
We've got to separate lobbyists from donations. That is,
lobbyists shouldn't bribe and political donations shouldn't be bribes.
(something like that. Uh, run that by again?)
Criticism of Congress (Boehner, please stop cussing me out
back there. Let's be friends);
Criticism of the executive branch: outdated, remote, watch
me slim down the bureaucracy and consolidate all those redundant agencies in
five different departments, fr'instance. LET US END MUTUAL DESTRUCTION AND
BUILD CONSENSUS (he does endorse free trade later on, which gains a camera shot
of the whole Boehner, briefly)
To quote Lincoln, the government should do for the people
only what the people can't do for themselves (Did I get that right? Thunderous
applause from below--Lincoln was a Republican! What's in a name?)
We can make progress in nonpartisanship. WE MUST ACT
TOGETHER (camera on Mitch McConnell, expressionless, still as stone, no pop-up
peg)
Let's get rid of Assad (reluctant applause from Boehner).
And then the camera fixed squarely on Lieberman as the
subject of IRAN was broached. The world has come together. We will not step
down from those crippling sanctions (cripple Achmedinejad, not the poor
people). Peace is still an option (Will there be anybody left?) (Eric Cantor,
who has been photographed dry as cement a few times, now applauds.)
Our oldest alliances are stronger. (Now camera is on
grinning Chuck Schumer) We have the closest military involvement ever with
Israel; relations with Burma are improving.
AMERICA IS BACK! WE'RE NOT IN DECLINE!! (standing ovation for a few seconds)
The U.S. is an indispensable nation in the realm of world
affairs (too many people have died, haven't they?)
We will save half a trillion dollars and still have a wonderful
military . . .
And then, And then, "FREEDOM ENDURES BECAUSE OF THE MILITARY! (Boehner
stands up and applauds--that was worth it)
Now it is our turn to serve them. Annual V.A. allocations
have risen each year of O's administration. New tax breaks will be awarded to
firms that hire veterans (the ones who are still functional)
