I will addres Mr. Cohen's points. Here is the biggest:

"The current president, after all, has started two wars and completed none, and presides over a palette of debacles that encompasses everything from a crashing economy to a housing catastrophe to an immense loss of American prestige around the world (with the possible exception of those aforementioned indigenous Brazilians). It includes, of course, a lack of trust in an administration that weaseled and fibbed and exaggerated and Cheneyed the American people..."

Compared to this, his other complaints are mosquito bites. Yeah, Hillary exaggerates and appears grasping and power hungry. Yeah, Obama has attended a church where some pretty flakey people have spoken. Yeah, Bill has behaved in a very un-ex-presidential fashion. But none of this -none- has led directly to the deaths of 4000+ Americans (you know the actual number is way, way, way higher than this - right?) and hundreds of thousands of Iraqis.

So, Mr. Cohen, a little perspective please. I promise you will feel way better about the way things are going.
