I Guess I'm Not the Only One

I guess I'm not the only one saying we shouldn't be deriding Obama for compromising on tax cuts. Here's Gail Collins in the New York Times:

"But let’s admit it. Nothing would have gotten done if Obama hadn’t swallowed that loathsome compromise on tax cuts for the wealthy.
If he’d taken the high road, Congress would be in a holiday war. The long-term unemployed would be staggering into the new year without benefits. The rest of the world would look upon the United States as a country so dysfunctional that it can’t even ratify a treaty to help keep nuclear weapons out of the hands of terrorists. The people who worked at ground zero would still be uncertain about their future, and our gay and lesbian soldiers would still be living in fear."

So as of now, my opinions on Obama are boring because so many people agree. So I'm onto other things. Apparently tomorrow is some kind of holiday.
