Matt Taibbi has a great article on the timeline of this in the rolling stones and recently appeared on Bill Moyers too.<br /><br />I just never gave him a chance even with all the progressive talk.

Great* minds think alike, apparently.<br /><br />I think it's just a matter that "the previous government" has gone from being a criticism to being a verbal tic, a kind of induced Tourette's syndrome in which Conservative boilerplate is inserted into Con-versation whether appropriate or not. There are more than a hundred sufferers now -- it's sad.<br /><br />Noni<br /><br />* YMMVNoni Mausahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11198589990083966806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708375.post-76375224615193535572009-12-24T07:13:14.894-05:002009-12-24T07:13:14.894-05:00If I recall correctly, they were already proclaimi...If I recall correctly, they were already proclaiming that failure before he'd even been inaugurated.

Our conservative friends judge Obama's presidency a complete failure because in less than a year, he hasn't managed to end the Afghan War, restore lasting peace in the Middle East, repair the US Economy, and fully reform health and education - in brief, to repair eight years of damage wrought by Bush. <br /><br />They gave Obama about a week of presidency before proclaiming him the worst in history. Same standard should apply, don't you think?Balbulicanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03909755014063452689noreply@blogger.com
