O brother, Obama, David Brooks on Dignity?

Polls are being taken and the President appears to be losing some of his charm for independent voters. Meanwhile, the Congress has just crushed Obama on a signing statement that he attached a recent appropriations bill. The Congress voted 429-2 to rebuke Obama statement. Barney Frank was adamant in saying that the President's conduct in this instance was arrogant and troubling.....Wll, does it remind anyone of another guy who was way into signing statement nullification of the congress's will...Hint, begins with a B...

Obama's secret weapon is the Republican Party and the demento commentariate of the right. When you ask yourself, who would you rather have takng up space in the nation's capitol, Obama still looks good by comparison...Only by comparison.

I am so thrilled that Joseph Galloway had two pieces on McNamara that truly buried him. Galloway writes for The Mc Clatchy News chain. He said it all. Read his two articles ion 7/6 and 7/7. I will not have to add anything to Galloway's commentary. And, I share in his delight to be reading this guy's obit. Kissinger should not be far behind....Henry, veer are you?

David Brooks is so cute sometimes. I think of Andy Hardy and Spin and Marty when I read him. He really is too smart to be associated with the right...so he hangs with Edmund Burke and channel's George Washington for advice on what has happened to dignity in the public sphere. The guy is having a hard time watching the human comedy down in the pit of D.C. I am sure his health plan has drug coverage...use it David, your right, we're screwed and doomed until the next election cycle. See his piece in today's NYTimes.
