2. Why would progressives behave irrationally when Obama hasn't even started governing?
Yet many of us do it anyway.

3. some of the criticism may not have been justified,
but I think some has. And the idea that he hasn't started governing yet, while technically true, doesn't quite represent the state of things.

4. One more vote for eliminating tax exemptions for churches.
When a man like that voices his "opinion" it is not the same as the guy down the block voicing his.
This is political rhetoric and these organizations should be taxed.
