10. I am taking a wait-and-see attitude. I will wait and see what Obama does.
But I do not like that he prefaced his objection to immunity with saying he "supports the compromise". He supports it. He said so. Apparently he agrees with the sales job that it was a compromise, and not a clear capitulation to everything the Republicans wanted, and I want to know why. It makes my stomach sink at what he might mean.

If it seems like excoriation that is going on here today, well, this is the man we are pinning our hopes on to be a breath of fresh air. He is more than one of 50 votes this coming week. He is our party head now, the man we are looking up to to be our next president. To erase the stain that Bush and his party put on the presidency. I think he should do more than cast a vote. I think he should lead.
