- mel: so...it's been a year since the election.
- molly: yeah, but he's only been in office since inauguration day.
- mel: so you're thinking he's gonna pull out the stops in the next two months and really wow us?
- molly: yep, I'm expecting solar-powered hoverboards and Israeli-Palestinian theme parks in the Gaza Strip by January.
- mel: what about the unregulated financial sector, an economy that's bleeding out, two increasingly unwinnable wars, continued lack of commitment to gay rights issues, slow progress on closing Gitmo, health care reform that is still deeply influenced by the insurance and pharma lobbyists, and North Korean nuclear tests?
- molly: maybe you didn't hear me.
- molly: HOVERBOARDS.
- mel: you're right. I want a blue one! With flames!
- molly: i'm gonna bedazzle mine!
