Next time I see President Obama on TV, say at a soup kitchen handing out food during a holiday...
...it's going to be difficult not to think: "...and that's about as far as it goes for you, doesn't it?"

I'd like to think he's going to pull this one out of the fire, somehow, but at this point I'm not hopeful nor do I expect I should be. Ya'll remember the "Dry Powder Gang"? Those Democrats who caved to Bush on torture, keeping their "powder dry" for the supposed big fights? That became an emblem for a long time of what I felt was wrong with the party. Now, I realized the powder wasn't being kept dry, it was being used.

Just on us.

I pray that history proves me wrong.

2. Apparently, he "plays chess" like he bowls.
Badly.

3. Read Glenn Greenwald on Salon today
He spells it all out on Obama/Rhambo. We were screwed before HCR even started.

6. You talking about the piece entitled "White House as helpless victim on healthcare"?
Haven't read the updates yet, but did read the main piece. Is that the one you were speaking of?
