The Obama administration's decision to try Ahmed Ghailana led to a 20 yr minimum with a maximum of life in a "Supermax" prison, where he would in isolation for nearly all the time. A success, one might think.
The GM IPO is going like gangbusters. A success, one might think.
The FDIC is probing, in a non-alien abduction way, 50 bankers. A success, one might think.
Tom Delay shoots himself in the foot, evidence wise. A failure one, might think.
House Republicans stall an extension of jobless benefits. Given the anemic growth in jobs, a failure, one might think.
Leading Republican senator Kyl threatens to stop the Start Treaty, leading to nearly everyone to call him nutzo. A failure, one might think.
Meanwhile a third Palin endorsed candidate loses in her home state, no less. A failure one, one might think.
Think about it. On the basis of the available evidence, Obama is moving forward making sane, if centrist, policies which actually accomplish what they are supposed to do; while the Republicans run round and about making fools of themselves and are riven with internal dissent between their Tea Party and the saner, if still crazyish, wings. Who, one wonders, will win in the long run?
