Interesting that you should bring up McCain, Bobert. I have thought about starting a thread posing the question: What would John McCain be doing right now? (Keeping in mind that Palin would be there too. shudder Talk about wanting to keep Bush in office so that we wouldn't have President CHENEY...)

The part that we knew, going in, was that the mess that Bush left will not be easily or quickly or cheaply cleaned up. Those on the right - not IN the right, mind- choose to ignore that.

Obama may have found the going harder and more complex than even he expected but I doubt it- he tried to warn us.
