When You’ve Lost the New York Times. . .

Even the New York Times is starting to figure out that Obama and his roving clownshow of an administration is simply in over its head.  In “Mounting Crises Raise Questions on Obama Team’s Ability to Cope,” Times reporter Mark Landler uses ventriloquist journalism to give effect to the no doubt widespread desire of Beltway Democrats for Obama to try to right his fortunes through the desperation measure of cleaning house after the election:

    “There is an inflection point in every presidency, and this certainly is a logical one, if the president feels he might be better served by some replacements on his team,” said Senator Richard Blumenthal, a Connecticut Democrat and a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee.

    While Mr. Blumenthal said the administration had borne up well under the circumstances, the scale and complexity of the problems “would exact a toll personally and professionally on any group.”

    There is little evidence that the president plans a wholesale shake-up.

This is similar to the concern you may show for a member of the family who drinks a little too much. Yes, it may be destructive. Yes, it may be causing chaos around that person. Yes, that person isn't all you hoped they would be. But, you still love them, and won't give up on them.

That pretty much sums up my attitude toward GWB, until I did give up on him.
