"Its as though an adult is leading this country finally... and it feels good"
Love this little post over at TPM:

"I'm flying today and got to the ft. Lauderdale airport and through security in under 15 minutes. All the TSA staff are serious and doing their job efficiently and thoroughly, but noone, including passengers appears panicked or upset. I don't think it is that we are 'used to' terror threats- it is a distinctly different feel that the US is doing what it needs to and not creating a fear. Its as though the president has a handle on it and is steering us straight, albeit, rough patch of water- not hyperventilating and flapping wildly. Its as though an adult is leading this country finally... and it feels good".

2. This will somehow be turned into a negative and blamed on the DLC.

3. I flew from Atlanta to Seattle last Saturday
I went through security around 7:45 pm there were no long lines. I felt safe, in the airport there were police with sniffing dogs.

I am always on alert watching passengers or anyone suspicious but that's just me.
