Overall, it's pretty obvious to us that when the right-wing conservatives who remain in Congress fail to do anything but say ... No ... No .. No ... we want to do things just like we did them before (i.e., before the election), what they're really saying is they still don't get it! They created this mess and now the new Congress and the new President has responsibility to clean it up.
As we watched the news over the last several days, we think Frank Rich's column, "They Sure Showed That Obama", says it best. Rich starts out:
AM I crazy, or wasn’t the Obama presidency pronounced dead just days ago? Obama had “all but lost control of the agenda in Washington,” declared Newsweek on Feb. 4 as it wondered whether he might even get a stimulus package through Congress. “Obama Losing Stimulus Message War” was the headline at Politico a day later. At the mostly liberal MSNBC, the morning host, Joe Scarborough, started preparing the final rites. Obama couldn’t possibly eke out a victory because the stimulus package was “a steaming pile of garbage.”We say "NO, Frank Rich, YOU aren't crazy." The whole column is worth reading word for word.
