Tom Buffenbarger suggests Hillary Clinton would have handled the Republicans much better than Obama.

Today, the House Democratic caucus rejected Obama’s propoal on the Bush tax cuts.

A survey of the MSNBC landscape last night has made clear that many of Obama’s fiercest defenders are coming to terms with their disappointment.

Buffenbarger, Weigel suggests, had it right all along.
