The taps are the sound of the microphone to see if the thing is working, and whether Obama is around today.
It's nice that he called the victor and the vanquished yesterday. It would be even nicer if he would talk to US -- his BASE -- about where we're going with health care and everything else.
With his alleged Congressional allies doing everything they possibly can to confirm everyone's ugliest stereotypes about how wimpy, weak-kneed and ineffectual they are ... with his Presidency, and now possibly the entire Democratic party, teetering on the brink of implosion on the anniversary of his swearing-in ... with the Teabaggers smelling blood and prepared to seize the opportunity to finish the job of destruction they started with Bush ... and with the people who put him into office as demoralized and angry and desperate as they've ever been ... wouldn't it be a good time for Obama to, y'know, SAY SOMETHING??????
Just asking.
Sorry for the brevity, but I don't know if this thing is working ...
Is it?
IS IT?
... Bueller???
