This was the headline on the front page of the Waterville Morning Sentinel this morning. Not much of a diary, but it seems that most of the commenters here today are focused instead on Marco Rubio's schadenfreude moment. (Not that I blame them--it was pretty diverting!)
I was quite excited to see this interpreted as the central message of Obama's SOTU last night, and I'm hopeful that others will perceive it as well. The prosaic strength and political savvy of Obama's speech was impressive, and IMHO it's the ideal path to take in addressing the current political stalemate. (John Boehner's visible discomfort was enough affirmation for me.) And I can think of no better mantle for Obama to take on going into the 2014 midterm elections than champion of the middle class.
