The potential downside, of course, is that a conflagration can get out of hand very quickly. It was not that many years ago when I experienced first hand an emergency evacuation from Los Alamos, in the wake of a so-called "controlled burn" in the surrounding hills, which came raging into town and burned some homes to the ground. I know Obama is skilled at lowering ocean levels, but are his water skills applicable to burn-control?
And what if that GOP leadership you refer to gets swamped by Obama's coattails? Can Joe Lieberman and a handful of other moderates triangulate deftly (or otherwise) on their own? You know that Reid, Dodd, Pelosi, and the ever despicable Frank are going to be on a triangulation rampage of their own to obliterate the slightest whiff of their culpability in the financial meltdown. I hate pointing out the obvious, but the inmates are running the asylum, right into the proverbial handbasket heading south. Please reassure me that we have hope of surviving the lunacy till 2012.

[S]ometimes you have no choice but to sit back and watch the show. Maybe that is what David is talking about. GOP leadership that can calmly, patiently, pointedly express opposition views and alternatives, fully aware it is simply positioning for 2012, without succumbing to impotent rage, while quietly triangulating with Democratic moderates to deftly, gently thwart Obama’s will in those cases where it is possible. Because impotent rage isn’t really that attractive … just look at the last eight years of Bush-bashing, after all, even when they actually controlled Congress. If it was, do you think Obama would be in a virtual dead heat with McCain right now?Worthy of consideration, Jules, if only as a means of bootstrapping out of a deep sense of malaise. It might actually be fun for a while to watch the bonfire of the vanities, were it not for the infrared radiation. A poor-man's suntan, however, may be just what the doctor ordered.
