      I disagree Mr. Harris: President Obama is not "cool, calm, and cerebral", ..he just simply doesn't care!

      He played golf for 3 months while oil poured into the Gulf!

      Then he cut 6,000 oil worker jobs!!

      His only "challenge" is finding a way to keep the milk-train Presidency running for as long as he is able!

      He bailed out several campaign-contributing Wall Street bankers when too many American mortgage-debtors became unable to pay their inflated mortgage notes, ..but he then left those poor homeowners sitting there with their 11% (and climbing) ARMs, on a mortgage principal fixed at now twice the market value of that home!

      Our current national debt is rising faster than did those "bubbling" house prices of the last decade!

      And yet all I see in the news, are pictures of our President on vacation!

      He just doesn't care about anyone else, does he, Mr. Harris?

      Why do you care so much about him?

      Giving O too much credit here, but like to think he's way ahead of the curve (& the MI oligarchie) with his "wind-down" date. When the goal of training locals fails, he can say "Well damn we tried, their ingrained and atavistic tribalism just makes the mission impossible." Maasalaama!

      Done correctly should reward him with another four years, Republican congress or no.

      IN MY DREAMS OF COURSE. (Being a CS peacenik.)

      The president may have got his candidate in Colo, but it can hardly be said that anything else went his way. The Dems only chance in Nov is a divided opposition and if that happens it will be the Republican's fault and no one else's. The problem is division in their own party. I think they might do better articulating a shared vision for the next two years, than running on their record or against Bush.
