Let’s Give Barack Credit

Did you catch Barack telling CNN’s Anderson Cooper, “I screwed up.” Damn, is that refreshing. After eight years of George Bush never admitting to any mistakes (even though they were numerous and glaring) it does appear that President Obama may be serious about this change thing. Now I realize he was drug screaming and kicking to dump Tom Daschle but the point is he did pull the trigger and Daschle is history.

And I also tip my hat that Obama and his team seem serious about trying to promote some genuine bipartisanship. Let’s recall that George Bush only offered Democrats some bullshit posts–e.g., Transportation. Obama has put Defense and Commerce in the hands of two Republicans.

As I have written all along I will dog the Obama team when they do not act as they promised. But when they do the right thing, he has my support.
