I don't think calling yourself out is an effective tool for a leader.

Doing a good job? What has he done? I don't mean that in a bad way but I just don't think he has reall had time to do anything rather good or bad.

We'll see how good he is now that he's a target of the media and not their darling. Seeing how a lot of his choices have had to drop out I think the honey-moon is over. Bush thought that he could do the same thing with Meyers. Obama is going to learn the same way W did.

A lot of his choices? He's appointed at least a dozen or more cabinet members and many more have been hired, and you bring up two?

And please don't compare Daschle with Harriet Meyers.

You'r right Harriet Meyers wasn't a lobbyist for the Health Care Industry.

I didn't bring up two. Those are just the latest. Bill Richardson withdrew for reasons unknown. Let's not forget Leon Panetta. The Democrats didn't even like that choice.

Why are you getting upset? I mean if it's good enough for me and my man Blade, why isn't it good for the politicians? Doesn't seem like a change I can believe in. Short-changed maybe.
