Interesting how the Democrats yelped bitterly at President Bush's purported "extra-constitutional" executive policies and now, caught in the Governor Blagojevich imbroglio, they are threatening an unconstitutional blockage of Governor Blago's appointment of Roland Burris to the U.S. Senate. This one will be fascinating. My prediction is that Mr Burris will be pressured to withdraw his name by the Dems. If Burris insists on the appointment, he will prevail.
The talk shows naturally devoted time to the Gaza crisis. What will happen -- who will be disappointed -- when Mr Obama must actually make decisions? He likes to throw hints from the grandstands, like voting present. Let's see how he does when faced with decisions that will certainly attract criticism, no matter what he decides. No doubt that Mr Obama is rooting for President Bush to make a bold decision on American policy on this and other "hot issues" prior to January 20th. President Bush was constantly lacerated by backseat drivers like candidate Obama.
Liberals, in the press and in congress, are insisting on quick passage of an economic stimulus package that may approach $750 Billion or more. They are also demanding that it has transparency (an overused word that makes certain people feel oddly comfortable I guess). Well, transparency (full, clear, and open disclosure) and quick do not actually go hand-in-hand. That's like being asked to provide a "brief, detailed, comprehensive summary".
Senator Harry Reid continues to insist that his comments that "the Iraq war is lost" and "there is no sign that the surge is working" were somehow justified at the time his beautifully warped mind conceived these peculiar notions. He will block Burris, he says?
