Ariana Pulls an apt Memento Analogy - not easy to do...

It's not easy being funny in the situation with political situation.  But Ariana pulls it off here. (emphasis mine)
.

The first poll results since the president's big speech on the economy last week are in -- and they're not very good. According to a newWashington Post/ABC News survey, the president's approval rating continues to fall, driven by fears about the economy. Back in the heady days of the 2008 campaign, a powerful, impassioned speech like the one Obama delivered would have had a definite positive impact on the numbers. But the soaring rhetoric now comes with a bitter aftertaste. We got used to the president making strong promises and then caving -- from closing Guantanamo to not extending the Bush tax cuts for millionaires. Now he's making strong promises he's already broken. He's like a political version of the Guy Pearce character in Memento -- he's figured out a way to break promises outside of the limitations of linear time.
