THE OTHER SCORECARD

How did Obama do with this?

The quibbling is over, the result is achieved.

I like the Washington Post's perspective on things sometimes. They have seen it all. It is their town.

They are mightily impressed.

Obama Scores Early Victory of Historic Proportions

In size and scope, there is almost nothing in history to rival the economic stimulus legislation that Obama shepherded through Congress in just over three weeks. And the result -- produced largely without Republican participation -- was remarkably similar to the terms Obama's team outlined even before he was inaugurated: a package of tax cuts and spending totaling about $775 billion.

I have written here that "they" and "he" have known what they were doing. They are working a chess game and the Republicans don't even get that it is a strategic game.

Sure there were some false moves. Feints too.

Another analogy. The rope-a-dope thing. He did this in the election process. They keep slugging at him and they land in the ropes. He is somewhere else in the ring when the punches land. He dances. Preserves his strength. Then the knockout. Butterfly / bee. Actually I like that one better.
