Happy Friday, everyone. Enjoy:
The Rude Pundit: What Obama should have said when announcing the end of the Iraq Clusterf**k.
Limbo: A new Pew survey says Republicans are to blame for the do-nothing Congress.
Echidne of the Snakes: Newt says America is exceptional because it promotes the economic liberty of rich capitalists and screws everyone else.
Muddy Politics: Romney says he'd be a spineless sycophant on foreign policy. (At least you know what you're getting with Newt.)
Seeing the Forest: Republicans say they won't agree to anything (that helps the 99%) unless they get everything they want (for the 1%).
