Angles, I think?
It's a reference to Abraham Lincoln's first inaugural address:
"I am loath to close. We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart and hearthstone all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature."
No. Better angels is correct. A fairly common expression.
When you're doing an experiment you set up the conditions and then observe the results. If you need to constantly involve yourself then you're running a bad experiment. "Experiment" is a terrible way to describe democracy.
what word would you use instead?
Case study seems like the most fitting research design terminology.
Then how am I supposed to support a coup in a socialist country and say "socialism failed the experiment"?
Barack, Barack. That might be what you wish it was about. Reality paints a different picture.
Maybe he shoulda experimented with clubbing McConnell with a baseball bat instead of rolling over when McConnell defied the Constitution during his SCOTUS pick.
This definitely isn't whitepeopletwitter
Mixed people just can't catch a break
He had complete control of Congress for 2 years, and could have given us universal healthcare. Instead, he gave us the ACA and only made the existing system that much more complicated.
I don't remember the exact details, but the dems only had effective control of congress for something like 10 days, due to technicalities.
The right actively worked against him from day 1. The death of Senator Ted Kennedy and Independent Senator Lieberman really hampered his efforts for a single payer option.
Right it's all his fault and not anybody else's, especially not Republicans
if republicans want 50 bucks they ask for 100 so they can negotiate down to 70 at most.
if obama wants 50 bucks he asks for 20 in hopes it'll make republicans more likely to accept, then lets republicans negotiate it down to 5.
the ~~big, bold, inclusive~~ failed experiment
I guess "Inclusive experiment" is one way to describe slavery.
Started by those people doesn't mean we act like they did..even a broken clock is right twice a day.
Don't drown baby in the bathwater before you shower; or whatever the phrase is.
So they ended slavery, right?
