I'm afraid that over the past few days, I am beginning to not recognize this site. What is it with the "eat our own" mentality? Reid's not tough enough, Pelosi's lying (and we know because the Republicans told us so), Obama is just a figment of our imagination because he didn't take on face-to-face every problem that the country has run into over the past decade in a confrontational manner over his first 100+ days. Obama is even taking"measured" reponses to problems that my drinking buddy Fred has all the answers to at closing time.
One area where the repubs have earned respect over time is their ablity to stay on message and unite in their common interest. Even where they did not have a common goal. Reagan's eleventh commandment "Thou shalt not speak ill of another republican" served them well in their glory days.
Why are we so eager to allow them to divide and conquer us, just at the moment when everything is possible? This is the friggin' democratic of democrat sites, but in the past few days, diaries that would make RedState proud have been popping up and even showing up regularly on the rec list.
I am not an "Obamabot". I respect the man, his family, his professed ideals - but he IS human. And a politician to boot. But, if there was someone whose judgement that I had to trust in our current situation, it would be, and it is him.
Will I agree with everything he says and does? No. Nor do I my mother, daughter, friend, or wife. Each of us, at a difficult turning point - with information only known to ourselves - does what we have to do. Whether our brother understands our choices or not. I trust this man.
Excuse my rant and go about your business. Maybe I am the one who showed up at the wrong address for the party to which I was invited.
