Remember When.....?

Do you remember last summer when the news hit that the National Journal had analyzed Barack Obama's voting record and determined that he was the most liberal member of the US Senate? Do you remember the firestorm that flowed from that--how the study was unscientific, how the voting pattern revealed very little, how closely packed all the Democratic Senators were, etc?

Do your remember when Sarah Palin went on her attack-dog mission, accusing Obama of moving the country toward socialism (not to put too fine a point on it, but so was John McCain)? My goodness, the outcry in the media!

So here we are, less than a month into his administration....is there any question now about who it is we elected and how he'll govern?

Lots of folks in the middle and right looked at the way this stimulus bill shook out and saw the vile fingerprints of Speaker Pelosi and Leader Reid...they thought the President meant what he said about bi-partisanship and they honestly believed he was looking to put forward a bill designed to jumpstart our economy.

I think we now have the measure of our man, and anyone who thinks that Pelosi and Reid hornswaggled our poor new President doesn't understand Barack Obama and doesn't understand the Presidency. Pelosi and Reid are carrying his water while he poses as the one above the fray, beckoning wayward Republicans for drinks at the White House while he plots how to send them into the permanent minority.
