I'm totally running with this joke from now on!
Unite ze' base! For real though, Democrats need not forget the base come next election time. Just hear me out, if you want.
I realize what I'm about to say is a trivial matter but until today's executive order speech I had forgotten how good President Obama can be at delivering the solid speeches that are written for him. It's pretty much a big reason why he won both elections. For me, I think it's because through his delivery it's believable, at least to the average American, that he wants to do the right by the American people. I actually think Democrats distanced themselves from the President at a disadvantage during the elections.
