Today 's developments in NK were a great reminder that the adults are back in charge.
With all that went on with last year's Obama-Clinton primary battle, and with some of the criticism of the Obama Administration for going too slow on many issues, let's not forget one thing -- our side, for all our foibles, is still infinitely better than their side.

1. Indeed. Obama will work with pretty much anyone, to achieve the best result....
I especially like the No Drama aspect of it.

5. Not best
He'll sacrifice "best" for "no drama". He'll avoid the big fight to get something sooner. He'd rather move on now, than fight for another day. He'd rather be "liked than right". It means he'll get alot of things done, even if they weren't necessarily the best. In some cases, some might conclude they weren't worth the effort at all. It's a tough call some times. It is the competition between perfection and mediocrity. Somewhere in between is the best one can hope for, but it is often hard to tell if one is being realistic, or settling.

4. It's change I certainly do believe in...
Now instead of our president embarrassing us, it's only the GOP that is an embarrassment. I can live with that:)
