By The Way...

Criticism will be good for Obama. The guy clearly suffers from an excess of praise. It would hard not to be, with the heaps of it piled on him. The guy got a g-d Nobel prize for just showing up to work. Many geniuses work in obscurity for years and and don't get notice for most of their lifetimes and then, if they are lucky, their work gets noticed before they die and they win the prize. Obama jumps into a campaign to get his name on the national ballot and takes off like Pinkberry and suddenly a year later is winning the Nobel Peace Prize for taking an utterly uncontroversial position as an Iraq war opponent from a liberal State Senate seat. The PC gods really smiled upon him.

I hope he doesn't take the Brett Favre route. Farve basically started believing in his own hype as a gunslinger hero and since 1998 has a 4-7 playoff record and is putting himself into the position of having a Joe Dimaggio like untouchable record of interceptions thrown. He also might be the first man to commit hari-kari on the football field by taking off his football helmet while three linebackers are about to crush him to prove his toughness. This is rather than...you know...just tossing a swing pass to Adrian Peterson and let him run.

Anyhow, enough of that little rant, it'll just be nice to see how Obama handles this beat-down. Whether he dusts himself off and figures out how to fix things. Or whether he gets and loony and like Randy Moss stops talking to the media or like LeBron makes weirdo, defensive Nike Ads.
