A bit of a diversion from bashing Republicans

For the last week or so, I have been too busy to finish up my next couple of posts explaining my predictions as to what the Republicans will do for the next two years, and just as I was about to get back to that, the deal between the GOP and Obama over the Bush tax cuts came down.

In light of that, I have decided it is time to post some things that tear into Obama.

Here's my take in a nutshell: Obama has made one strategic or tactical dumbass blunder after another, and he has absolutely no backbone. He needs to grow a pair, and it ain't going to happen.

I have held this view for quite a while, but I became convinced of it because of the tax cut deal. I am not necessarily going to argue that extending all the Bush tax cuts is right or wrong. Instead, I am going to focus on what this deal and all the other mistakes and lack of action by Obama says about him as President.

While I am working on my own rant, check out this assessment from Keith Olbermann. I agree with much of what he says, in particular his assessment of the Obama administration and his emotion regarding that.
