Did Obama Just Quit?

I'm still incredulous at that presidential presser yesterday. “Say what you want about Sarah Palin quitting her job, but at least she finished her own press conference,” Jim Treacher quips, asking, “Did Obama just quit?”

Not even a month into his presidency he went whole hog left, shut Republicans out and was publicly snarky. This last week he had a public meltdown--attacked his left and right but didn't establish himself as a calm man of the center, rather he reaffirmed he is a hardcore leftist smashing into political reality.

Now he's abandoning even the pretense that he is a grown-up for his day job. (Well, what are leftists but juveniles grown old) Michelle is his mommy and he has to go home and wash his hands before dinner. If he's good he can go to the party--and golfing on Saturday.

The only job he was good at--the essence of community organizing is anger--in yourself, and whipping it up in others.

If not a transfer of power, the whole show seemed at least a temporary handoff.

"Now is not the time for macho politics", Clinton warned. There ya go.
