I think I'll stay tuned for the next installment!<br /><br />As I scope the blogosphere, I see others making a similar formulation as Krugman does. "Lack of a spine", "Republican", "Conservative", "weak" and many others have also been bandied about. None of these adequately describes our present situation nor Obama's condition. Right now, I think that the one statement that best describes him and his political temperament is: Community Organizer. His toolkit is not wide and deep enough to fight off thirty years of conservative memes that have polluted our political discourse. If his previous experience included fighting for the civil rights of others or a real, face-to-face struggle to provide for his wife and children and keep the lights on and put food on the table, maybe things would be different. Sometimes, I get the impression that he has been sheltered from too much pain and sorrow.<br /><br />It will be interesting to see how these hostage negotiations turn out.StephenAGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11064043440776577832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4119943.post-44783173921528454802010-11-15T21:13:21.045-08:002010-11-15T21:13:21.045-08:00I don't care what Obama does inside his mental...I don't care what Obama does inside his mental world. Whether he negotiates with himself or just looks for an easy way out, he is a disaster and the Democratic Party enabled him in 2008. Foreigners I met knew then that this is going to happen.<br /><br />What is wrong with us.Koshem Boshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01724595772791711326noreply@blogger.com
