Light On Dark Water

Heh. No White House tours for us, no golf for you, Mr. President.  I don't suppose the congressman's amendment would actually have any effect, but it's an appropriate response to a strikingly petty gesture.

The sequestration-wolf-crying doesn't seem to have worked for Obama, with even some media liberals saying he overdid it and could have avoided the whole situation. I'm a little puzzled by that: why balk at this, when they've been leading cheers for him since early 2008? Neo-neocon has a theory that sounds plausible: that there has been some discontent among liberals for a while, but they kept it to themselves until Obama was safely elected to a second term. I keep hoping his admirers will eventually see him for what he really is:

The president had a truly disturbing habit of funnelling major foreign policy decisions through a small cabal of relatively inexperienced White House advisers whose turf was strictly politics. Their primary concern was how any action in Afghanistan or the Middle East would play on the nightly news, or which talking point it would give the Republicans.

And this little summary of his "evolution" (snicker snicker) on homosexual marriage makes me wonder why anyone would ever believe anything he says.
