Obama Vs Congress As Depicted By Herr D And Shelob

Herr D made this cartoon on heromachine.com.

As instructed, blog will continue in Hairy's absence. The U.S. government is surprising in it's complexity and capacity for repetition. Obama mentioned that he expects certain identical arguments to be used in identical contexts as a repeated theme. Perhaps his success is partly due to his memory of what happened before. This would eliminate his opposition's element of surprise.

Does anyone agree with that hypothesis?
