The rise and fall of Speaker Nancy Pelosi...this issue frankly bores me to tears. Unless this crashing and burning, if it occurs even moreso than it has, affects Obama's agenda. The success or failure of that agenda is not "boring." It is the be all and end all. We are, as a nation, at the Crossroad. Which path will we take? Well, we've already made our decision. But President Obama, unlike the Speaker, is not a "super-partisan." For that species, I have nothing but contempt. And their comings and goings bore me to death.
But Speaker Pelosi now is unwittingly a factor in the crucial issue of the President's plans for this country. There is a reason she became Speaker of the House. She knows how to play the game. She knows it so well that Obama's plans are tied up with her fate. At least, it seems that way to me.
Now as for Obama and certain high profile conservatives, this is interesting. An independent mind always fascinates. Last night, O'Reilly defended Obama against those who would claim he is deliberately dismantling something good. I agree with The Factor: Obama is acting in good faith. For this defense of the president, Dr. Hill, a frequent guest, actually thanked Bill O'Reilly. And this exchange in general, overall, was very positive and good for the country. Mike Gallagher, whom I respect and like--anyone who is a friend of Chris Wallace cannot be all bad--seems to take a much more Hannity-like approach to Barack. I really don't like this. And after a while, such same-old-talking-points rhetoric and ranting gets old. This point leads me to something that pleased me greatly, impressed me to no end: Krauthammer's praise for the President today on Fox All Stars.
What Obama has been doing for our national security has indeed been praiseworthy. So, I say: KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!
