Barack Obama, honeymoon killer?

The Clintonites in his Cabinet, forgiveness for Lieberman, the creeping signs of centrism -- progressives aren't ready to panic, yet.

    How About Letting Barack be President First?

    Nothing matters more than what is ACCOMPLISHED. If Obama is able to achieve (in large measure) what he states he will do by 2011, then he's golden in my book. I have no doubt he wants us out of Iraq and will get us there. I have no doubt he will ram through a huge stimulus plan tied to jobs and energy and infrastructure investment. I am resigned that he will most likely toss the GOP a bone and let the Bush tax cuts die a natural death. So let's balance that out with a need to get revenge on Lieberman and handing the GOP a talking point on taxes. Does it really make sense to arm your enemies? Obama is making smart moves.
