Americanlogic thinks this president lives in a fantasy world along with his allies:

"I don't think you want to send a signal that this is a crisis bigger than it is," said Vin Weber, a lobbyist and former Republican House member who is a White House ally. "This was a bad week obviously, but you cleared the board of a couple big problems or question marks hanging over us. It's unfortunate for the individuals involved, but it gives us a chance to start rebuilding, clawing our way back." (courtesy NY Times)

my italics. Wow. Americanlogic is almost at a loss for words. A "bad week"? A major administration official gets indicted and your political advisor is still under the gun and it's a bad week? The simple fact that Rove is still under investigation refutes the notion that the question marks have been cleared. In any other administration, Rove would be fired or forced to resign. However, we are dealing with a president whose first priority is: himself. A year ago today we were a week away from electing competency over failure. Reason over paranoid action. Truly great presidents change course. Eisenhower changed. Even the conservative hero Reagan brought in new blood in 1987. Instead we get more of the same.

My kingdom for an adult president!
