And how is that different from how it ends up with every President?
Seems to me there’s a pendulum that’s always swinging …

True. I see nothing terribly unusual with Obama but I’m a little more concerned with what the right is up to these days. The lefty base was pretty nutty under Bush but the crazy seems to be going higher up the food chain with Republicans today. The party leaders are buying into the crazy. I suspect the BP Shakedown talking point is making the Republican leadership very nervous. It’s the kind of thing that could have serious political repercussions and I’m not sure if they can stop it.
