I feel awful.
I want to support the President and his health bill. "Universal for-profit insurance" has its place, surely.
But, his party cannot even offer a consistent message on civil rights. The Party has been absent in Maine; and they are absent in New Jersey, now, when someone could make a difference.
So, I'm torn.
Treat him like he treats us or rise above that?
Right now, let him pull the weight.
That's basically the post-Clinton message, almost unchanged (by Rahm, by others?): we leaders won't impede, but we won't assist - you do the heavy lifting and we'll glide in at the cost-free moment with pen-in-hand.
