It’s easy to dismiss Sarah Palin.
She’s back on the trail, with the tumbling hair and tumbling thoughts. The queen of the scenic strip mall known as Wasilla now reigns over thrilled subjects thronging to a politically strategic swath of American strip malls. ... Barack Obama, who once had his own electric book tour testing the waters for a campaign, could learn a thing or three from Palin. On Friday, for the first time, his Gallup poll approval rating dropped below 50 percent, and he’s losing the independents who helped get him elected.
He’s a highly intelligent man with a highly functioning West Wing, and he’s likable, but he’s not connecting on the gut level that could help him succeed.
The animating spirit that electrified his political movement has sputtered out. ... If we could see a Reduced Shakespeare summary of Obama’s presidency so far, it would read:
Dither, dither, speech. Foreign trip, bow, reassure. Seminar, summit. Shoot a jump shot with the guys, throw out the first pitch in mom jeans. Compromise, concede, close the deal. Dither, dither, water down, news conference. ...

She tries to slam Sarah Palin, but somehow Obama comes off worse.

Last I knew,Teh Won hasn't even filled the vacancies in the treasury department. I wonder how many other vacancies are still waiting to be filled in the administration.

I can see why Dowd admires Obama, despite the cushioned and soft rebuke in her summary of his administration to date: She is almost as self-important as he is.

It takes a while to decide who is going to look good under his bus :sarcasm:
