For the sake of my own sanity, I'm going to have to stop reading.
-- bamage
I think I know just how you feel. I just keep telling myself two things, bamage. First, Obama is not President yet, not til he's Inaugarated. And second, it has been such a long time since the Democrats have had a politician as skillful as Obama leading the party. We (I'm serious about this) may not know what effective political leadership looks like any more!
And because I can't count, here's a third: I think Obama's best gambits have been two, the "Invisible Man" technique (I've talked about that before, if you are lucky, you missed it.) and the "Give the Repubs enough Rope" technique.
And when I do think I'm going right over the edge, I ask myself, "exactly, what were you expecting, and how quickly, given the circumstances"
And then I call my connection. That's the one that always brings surcease. I can suggest no better course for you. That's why you should ask somebody else.
