[Peace-discuss] Constructing an excuse

[C. G. Estabrook]

  "In recent weeks Obama has been saying goodbye to two senior aides, [chief of 
staff Rahm] Emanuel and Lawrence Summers, his chief White House economic 
advisor, another disaster. On would have thought that from those two fateful 
misappointments Obama has nowhere to go but up, but as his undignified and 
self-aggrandizing  whines on the campaign trail suggest, Obama can see that his 
presidency is in a fix beyond rescue by the elevated streams of verbiage that 
won him the White House back in 2008.  Emanuel blames his boss, and his boss 
blames the progressives for letting him down! I blame the progressives for 
pumping Obama up in the first place..."
