Kooks On Both Sides

Obviously there are kooks on both the left and right.

The patience the left shows Obama is obviously partisan given their impatience with Bush. Bush gets shit for responding too slow to a natural frigging disaster - is accused of purposefully neglecting the people of New Orleans and leaving them to rot. Meanwhile, we got a man-made economic disaster with people losing their homes and life savings, tumbling the entire world into an economic abyss. The long term ramifications to this economic crisis are scary and unknown and persist day in and day out. These types of events destabilize major countries and institutions and can effect the course of history. And instead of freaking out, the left, in general, is pretty much willing to give Obama a blank check to spend ourselves out of this disaster.

If you ask me, the WOT and this economic crisis are two issues too important to be partisan. We need to be smart and diligent and lucky.
