The President is out backwalking his prior statements on healthcare reform. It's a triangulation that's not going to work.
I know I'm supposed to support and protect the leader, but it isn't reflexive for progressives in the way it is for Republicans.
How much does the President owe Howard Dean? Well, Joe Lieberman's approval ratings are down nine points, in one week. All Dean had to do was go on a TV program and say, "Americans want choice." Gosh, why was that so hard for Rahm-Axlerod-Obama-Biden-Summers-Geithner?
Ariana has the quote of the day:
This year, I'm getting Joe Lieberman a DVD of Mr. Smith Goes to Washington so he can see the proper use of a filibuster -- to fight corruption, not promote it
Well, maybe the quote goes to Kent Jones, of The Rachael Maddow show, in laughing at James DeMint's concept of freedom: "Gays make freedom cry."
