actually, dk, i'm not apologizing for the obama administration at all--i just think that the carping from the right is absurd. brand triage uber alles---you conservative folk find yourselves in a world of shit and are transparently using anything and everything to try to dig your way out of it. the main tactic, of course, is to subdivide time so as to create a greater---and entirely imaginary---distance between yourselves and the bush administration. no-one, except maybe the conservative faithful, is fooled.
i have alot of problems with the obama administration--but i was a lukewarm supporter all along.
i figure he's nowhere near far enough away from the sucking sound that is conservative language, conservative views. the guy's a moderate---always was, always will be, it seems. he's paying the price for being a moderate.
but this has nothing to do with the imaginary world the right inhabits.
