The real reason I was considering stopping blogging was that I don’t want to spend my time defending Obama. I think that he’s a big boy and can defend himself. A lot of Progressive bloggers are going to be critical, because they want him to flip the country to our agenda. Had he been such a candidate, he wouldn’t have won. We’ve had an ideologue Administration. We don’t need another one. Lord knows Obama is going to get enough flack like this from the Right.

This man is the most ingenuous guy in Washington. When he’s not breaking down in tears, or looking like a coon hound with a cold, he’s being reflexively conservative. The only worse example in Congress is my own personal Senator, Saxby Chambliss of Georgia, who has never had an authentic point to make in his life. At least Chambliss looks like a Senator. Boehner looks like a used car sale… refugee from a tanning sa…. But I digress. I’ve been writing about Krugman’s criticism that Obama’s package is too small.

Plastic surgeon’s dream…you forgot that one.
Excellent choice! [Hush Mom]
