Fascinoma

It's now obvious that Dick Cheney just can't help himself -- whenever there's some kind of uptick, no matter how incompetent or trivial on the "terrorism" front, Dick Asleep-at-the-Wheel Cheney will forget about the thousands who died on his watch and accuse the current President of being soft on terror. Obama has mostly himself to blame for this. When he announced very early in his term that he was going to "look forward" instead of prosecuting any of the Bushies for their inummerable documented and even proudly admitted crimes and war crimes, he basically said, " I have no stomach for a fight," no matter how grave the principle or reprehensible the offense. It followed, like reaction on action that the GOP crime syndicate would take that as their cue to punk the Honolulu fancypants, and that's pretty much what BO can expect for the next three years.

Obama is very quickly proving to be just as incompetent and unprincipled as Bush, even if not as personally incurious and stupid. Perhaps he can change, and turn it all around but I doubt it. And there doesn't seem to be any sense of failure in this adminsitration; they seem rather to have a genius for declaring Mission Accomplished in the smoldering ruins of their own promises. Is there no hope of a Democratic primary?
