If Obama punks out on Wednesday, the left will be highly upset, but a week in politics is a year. 3 years from now, they'll calm down enough to keep another republican out of office. So let me ask what you would prefer? A cowardly president or another George W. Bush? If you say neither, you would be complicit in getting another republican elected.

I doubt that we'll have a better idea of his position after Wednesday. Sadly. |
