Allow me to opine on two points
“the Obama mystique has faded somewhat”
The ‘Obama mystique’, to put it nicely, is in the crapper. Has this beta male turd-shuffler looked at the polls? He’s imploding. Even personally, people think the man is a jackass.
“More than a century later, Nancy Pelosi had those words — and the words of others — in her mind when she became the first female House speaker.”
Yes, the first female House Speaker... more collagen implants and polyurethane parts than female, but I take the point. What of course is not mentioned is that Pelosi went on to lose the House majority in the biggest shellacking since 1938. She now has no prospect of ever being the speaker again, period. What a loser.
Yea she is. But don’t you take comfort knowing that she prayed for you and the rest of us today?
