You work with the Congress you've got, not the congress you've got.  
Whole lotta weasels in Washington D.C., Obama didn't create these  
disasters.

Nah, make the real show-down happen in 2012. Make the [theoretical]  
ideological difference stark, underscore that the Bush tax cuts can't  
be permanent. It's only a matter of time before we all go broke. Obama  
already got a lot done but make no mistake about it -- Against the Day  
focused on the Gilded Age in part to focus our attention on this new  
Gilded Age of ours.
