Take the week off: Obama's excellent day

Obama and Biden applauding passage of the health care reform act

Well the ISP (incredible shrinking president), as Paul Krugman labeled him, the man who Frank Rich said had lost his bearings, etc.  has landed on his feet.  I think the lesson for all of us is - don't underestimate Obama, Biden, and team.


This week the House and the Senate (of all unlikely places) sent him repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell, the 9/11 responders bill, the defense authorization act, the tax compromise (admit it - you don't really object to the 2% payroll tax cut for the coming year), and finally the New Start nuclear arms limitation treaty with Russia. And the Food Safety and school lunch bills too.


I think the President, Michelle, Sasha, and Malia can enjoy Christmas week in Hawaii where he was, in fact, born.
