The Incomplete Cynic

“We got used to the president making strong promises and then caving — from closing Guantanamo to not extending the Bush tax cuts for millionaires. Now he’s making strong promises he’s already broken. He’s like a political version of the Guy Pearce character in Memento — he’s figured out a way to break promises outside of the limitations of linear time.”

Having broken through the limitations of linear time, he’s also like Guy Pearce in Time Machine.

He’s more like sometime-Avenger Hank Pym, always embarking on big, ill-advised, projects with no concern for the possible consequences. Obamacare = Ultron.
