• WaPo Reader Calls Out Lib Columnist on Filibuster Hypocrisy

• How Democrats Can Get Themselves Back in Shape

  
  — Authority:
  When the history of the Obama administration is written, this week may well be regarded as the moment when Democrats’ anxieties crystallized into genuine alarm.

• Is E.J. Dionne, Jr. of The Washington Post reading the Valley?

  
  — Authority:
  In 2008, I asked if the last President was reading the Valley? Now, it seems E.J. Dionne , currently with the Washington Post and American Prospect formally with the LA Weekly , consulted with the Valley before his current article. Look: From E.J: "His [Bushs] presidency was a tonic for Democrats ...

• What the Democrats really need right now...

  
  — Authority:
  ... George Bush. His presidency was a tonic for Democrats and led to a blossoming of political creativity on the center-left not seen since the 1930s. No tactic, no program, no leader ever did more to catalyze the party than the rage Bush inspired. Without him, they are the rage-inspiration. Power hurts. And no ...

• What type of "realist" is President Obama?

  
  — Authority:
  I am ever amused/confused by the rhetoric surrounding President Obamas foreign policy. I just ran across Abe Greenwalds piece about Obamas move to neo-conservatism, apparently reflected in his Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech. Obama recognized the potential necessity of using force to confront bad actors. The ...

• Media Amnesiacs Suddenly Appalled at Hitler Comparisons

  
  — Authority:
  A liberal Washington Post columnist laments today of the loss of civility in the public discourse. Strange that he is suddenly outraged that Americans would dare call Obama a socialist or a fascist, given that Bush-Hitler comparisons were widespread during the previous administration.

  WASHINGTON--When there is no good solution to a problem, a president has three options. One is to avoid the problem. The second is to pick the least bad of the available options.
