Memo to "Progressives"

In re Obama:

Wherefore rejoice? What conquest brings he home? (Utah? ND? AK?)

What tributaries follow him to DC,

To grace in captive bonds his chariot-wheels?

You blocks, you stones, you worse than senseless things!

O you hard hearts, you cruel men of home,

Knew you not Bill and Hillary?

Many a time and oft

Have you climb'd up to walls and battlements,

To towers and windows, yea, to chimney-tops,

Your infants in your arms, and there have sat

The livelong day, with patient expectation,

To see Bill pass the streets of DC:

And when you saw his chariot but appear,

Have you not made an universal shout,

That Potomac trembled underneath her banks,

To hear the replication of your sounds

Made in her concave shores?
