After being personally fed up all day yesterday, I find two quotes from Political Wire that illustrate part of a frustration I feel building in many people.

I don’t know who wrote Krauthammer’s column today, but I’m pretty sure it wasn’t him. Why else would the column truthfully discuss the vile dictators the Right-wing administrations in the US have chosen to support:

Ah, Monday.
Four more days to Friday.
I have a feeling it’s going to be a very long week.
Drumroll, please!

The Obama campaign had a little two for one deal going today when Obama spokesman Bill Burton used the opportunity of responding to Rudy Giuliani calling Obama’s Iran strategy “naive” and “irresponsible,” to take a swipe at Hillary Clinton. This is tacky stuff coming from the Obama campaign:

Is there any area of our government, over the span of the last seven years, any area, in domestic or foreign policy, national defense, public welfare, the economy, name it, where the average, reasonably informed American might point to success, to signs of progress, of improvement, something, anything, to point to with satisfaction, with pride?
