No Kidding!!

From Joe Klein at Time:
"A friend suggests that one of the reasons why support for health care reform has ticked upwards in recent days--and that support for the war in Afghanistan ticked upward after the President announced his policy--is that people hate DC gridlock, with its accompanying ration of pettiness. They want action and hope it works. I hope it works, too."

TW: I would file this under the no shit category. Why do you think the Republicans have adopted the oppose everything 24/7/365 approach. Because it works. And also because the corralary is true. If Obama with some Republican help was blazing trails with a united front to address climate change, health care, the economy etc. all incumbents would be polling through the roof, instead there is talk of a 2010 Republican wave. Folks like to say it does not but it does which is a shame (for the governance of our nation) but a reality of life.
