So this is what post-partisan hope and change looks like

Unbelievable. We wish. This is truly some banana republic bull-shit we are witnessing. We really could go for some "fairness" and "neutrality" about now.



If you told us six months ago something like this would happen, we’d have told you that you were nuts and would’ve asked to see your Birther I.D. card.

Yeah, the administration’s policies are definitely not to our liking but barring an entire news organization? Dude, that is just straight-up whack.

Here’s what we think is going on: Obama, the politician has never had his politics or his world view challenged in any serious way and certainly not opposed to in the way it has been recently. So with no prior experience in how to respond to this withering criticism, he’s lost – he doesn’t know how to respond.

Into this response decision vacuum steps Axelrod and Emanuel. They know how to respond. In fact, "know", is inaccurate because their response is completely reflexive in nature: Attack!

Attack, Attack, Attack! Attack 24/7. And when you are done attacking, attack some more! And when the opponent appears to be tiring or even vanquished, Attack! And when you have finally destroyed the opposition and there is nothing left of it but a smoldering, wimpering heap of crushed beliefs and ideology, you… Attack!

And even when your attack causes you to lose credibility with the masses and even an entity that carried you across the finish line on its collective shoulders, you…. Attack!

They don’t know anything else. What we are witnessing is the political personification of the scorpion and the frog.

The administration is losing its ass, losing credibility, getting pounded in the polls and generally looking like a spiteful central American junta and yet they keep plunging that stinger into the back of the frog.

We’ve never seen anything like it.
