"I won"

Well Obama certainly is living up to that phrase and seemingly using it as raisons d'etre for his administration so far. It certainly makes his leadership small beer and business as usual. It's been this way since about a day after a hope-filled inauguration.

And now it's gone over the top (or completely crashed and burned) by this whole nonsense of holding Bush Justice lawyers criminally liable for post-9/11 opinions of torture. This goes so far beyond realm of reasonable that it's really disturbing. If his plan is divide and conquer, it's creating the division in the wrong place.

And where is the Republican leadership? They are silent. We only hear former VP Dick Cheney. Leadership on that side of the aisle seems to be lacking, too. C'mon fellows, engage!

There are no leaders in Washington right now. Here it is in a nutshell: "I have to go, there go my followers!"
