Eric Holder, Jack Quinn and the Rich pardon

It's premature to criticize Obama for his establishment-soothing appointments. But it's just as premature to heap praise on him for those appointments.

    Not to worry, Lotus Feet.

    You are like Diogenes with his lantern, looking for an honest man around here.

    Lot's of luck, my frem!

    What you find here are smug, arrogant, self-referential partisans including the what happened to my balls Glen to the phony Joanie and their chorus of true believers.

    They fancy themselves pure as the driven snow on the mountain tops of Aspen, but, in reality, they cannot deal with the institutions which really require CHANGE, especially our failed system of public education.

    They view this as a Republican issue, as if alla dem meanspirited Wepubwickans are just using the absolute failure of the public schools from Atlanta to San Diego to work their nasty right wing agenda.

    Why can't Obama confront and CHANGE this horrible mess?

    Why shouldn't he?

    This is his chance to do something transformative which only he can do.

    Why not?
