Reply #8: I'm not so fast to agree with your assessment of his "default attitude"

Seems to me like he doesn't rush to the demands of others but deals with issues on his own time clock where possible. This Blago stuff isn't exactly a nation shattering development. Remember how fast he came out t deal with the economic crisis? Yeah, it was immediate.

So if he's waiting to gather details before coming out with one statement, it doesn't bother me in the least. Volunteering information if the information you have on the first day isn't complete is never smart. And Obama is smart. Smarter than you, imo.

I'm just not on the right wing calliope with this one. Life is so much better since Obama won the election that I've decided to defer hand wringing. I'm still basking in the afterglow of his Steve Chu nomination.
