Quote of the day - Paul Krugman

From Friday's NYTimes: One line in Krugman's column sums up my feeling towards the start of the Obama administration:
"It’s hard to avoid the sense that Mr. Obama has wasted months trying to appease people who can’t be appeased, and who take every concession as a sign that he can be rolled."
Sadly, the most recent example has been our own Chuck Grassley leading the Republicans in health care negotiations. I have wanted to believe Chuck has been acting as a serious player in trying to get something passed. After hearing his performances at the town hall meetings it's becoming clear he'll vote against the final bill no matter how watered down it becomes.
