For all the coverage of Obama's approval ratings coming in, Dick Morris must be in the minority of those who are pessimistic about the future.
Obama has no where to go but down. This balloon is has been over inflated. He has tried to let the air out with pessimistic assessments of the economy but the inauguration countered that. With the extravagances of a monarchy and the gushing coverage of a celebrity wedding (Michelle's attire) Obama has likely peeked.
Compared to past Presidents, those who started out hot (Truman, Kennedy, Johnson, Carter) fell hard. Now that he has to make decisions, we will get a sense of reality again.

"It is the common fate of the indolent to see their rights become a prey to the active. The condition upon which God hath given liberty to man is eternal vigilance; which condition if he break, servitude is at once the consequence of his crime and the punishment of his guilt." -- JP Curran, 1790

Sweet Caroline, what has thou hidden?
Caroline Kennedy, will not disclose financial, tax, or really any other records of importance unless "chosen" as Senator of New York by Gov. Paterson.
She has certainly learned from the "Chosen One" that you can stonewall you way into power without disclosing information that might allow people to question you character.

The Nepotism of Democrats
Change you can believe in? or Change you can inherit?
Caroline Kennedy is just another example of the nepotism in politics. It is sadly fascinating to see the hypocrisy of proclamations that the Democrats will break up the "business-as-usual". Really?
How? By appointing, sorry anointing successors to power? I get it, politics is a family business. But, this presumptive birthright to power sickens me. This isn't new but seems to be reaching an all time low. Teddy was just as unqualified to be a Senator as Caroline is today. When a former first lady and junior Senator is somehow the most experienced candidate from your party, you have to ask if there is a problem. When cousins are elected to the Senate in neighboring states in the same year, you have to ask if there is a problem. When a Senate seat is vacated and the first right of refusal goes to that Senators son, you have to ask if there is a problem. When a career philanthropist is "offered" a Senate seat because of her last name, you have to ask if there is a problem. There are thousands of examples.
Draw whatever comparisons you like, but is it really possible for someone to think that Caroline Kennedy is more qualified than Sarah Palin to hold any political office?

Dem vs. Dem: NY Style
Its time for another edition of Dem vs. Dem
It is entertaining to watch the Democrats eat each other over the NY Senate seat. While advocates of Caroline Kennedy prop her up as the rightful "Heiress" to the thrown, her credibility is getting chopped off at the knees. Are they seriously questioning her experience for a Senate seat after all the work she has done as a "community organizer"??
You know Bill and Hill are somehow behind the assault against her. Remember, she was the one who convinced Teddy to endorse Obama as the next JFK early in the primaries when he needed it. Clintons don't forget. They, or people close to them, are surely supplying the axes for the gleeful wielding press. This is a War within the Democratic party between the Kennedy clan and Clinton clan. The Clinton's lost the election battle but not the war.
Who has the bigger gun??
