With the sending of 2500 additional National Guard to the Mexican border...
...even though border crossings and violent crime are down over 50% since 2003.
And the forced resignation of Shirley Sherrod in a kneejerk reactionary way.

I think it is time we ask why is this Administration letting FAUX News and CNN call the shots?

As the President rightly pointed to the "24hr news cycle" as a part of the problem I hope his Administration is learning how to be grown-ups and stop their reacting to it.

1. It would be a real change for the GOP to have to react to the Democrats...
I sometimes wonder if anyone in this administration really knows how to lead, rather than to try to bargain with the right and react to the propaganda we get every from the gop owned media.

I understand Obama trying to get votes from the moderate/center republicans, but seeing the lack of any emotion or heat coming from this administration as we get closer to the November election is very disconcerting...it seems as if no one cares if the GOP wins seats in congress or no one realises that the election is coming...

Fired up?
Not in DC, at any rate...
