A Tad MIffed

We got an email today from a reader, reminding us of the LA Times column headlined, "Obama must rethink rethinking Afghanistan." Author Doyle McManus said the deliberations were "starting to look like dangerous indecision": "In George W. Bush, we had a president who shot first and asked questions later. In Barack Obama, we have a president who asks the right questions but hesitates to pull the trigger."

Our dear friend was simply letting us know that, hey, look at that; maybe you’re right. He got it backwards. McManus needs the wake up call - "Hey, maybe you’re right, Craven had this stuff early on."

OK, so we are a tad miffed. We don’t need the LA Times or anyone else to verify insight offered up on this site (just like a few years back we didn't need street economists verifying our predictions re the real sector.) Heck, we’re usually there first and we’d like folks to acknowledge that. We may not offer the big name; what we do offer is accuracy. Whew! OK, that’s done.

What amazes this afternoon (we can just feel it) is the growing disillusionment from the left with "their guy."

Obama’s key role is commander-in-chief. We warned during the campaign that he was not cut out for the task - "profoundly out of his league."

Afg is his first real challenge.

He is acting perfectly in character.

Why the surprise?
