"In many ways [those middle-aged black ladies] my touchstone, because they are what I meant when I talked about the audacity of hope."

Barack Obama said yesterday that the economy was 'going to get worse before it gets better.' See, that's when you know the campaign is really over. Remember before the election? 'The audacity of hope!' 'Yes, we can!' 'A change we can believe in!' Now it's, 'We're all screwed.'
