At least in part it seems relentlessly negative and nonconstructive.</p> I’m skeptical that all of the criticism is constructive…quite the contrary.

Well, Obama did take Joe aside for a talk in the floor of the Senate….

By the elbow, IIRC.

I think many people here are selling Obama way too short.

He doesn’t seem to tolerate bad behavior much, just look at his campaign.

No leaks, minimal out of line comments.

You said exactly what I was thinking. But @ 4:30 am Maui time, it can’t exactly be classified as “thinking” on my part.</p> <p>My biggest concern about Obama and the Blue Dogs comes from raising children. When your children exhibit “bad behavior,” you explain, illustrate or let them suffer the consequences of such. Obama doesn’t look to me like he’s ready to characterize past Blue Dog behavior as “bad,” so what incentive do these folks have to change in any way. To paraphrase what Obama said to Rachel about himself, “it works for them.”</p> <p>How he handles Joe Lieberman is going to be another interesting story.</p> Thanks, RevDeb.
