Love eat hate pray

A Talking Points Memo reader writes: "Oh god, now [Obama has] got me all confused. I hated that sad sack of ---- worse than W in the day, but now I'm prepared to support him as a Democrat again. Whipsaw!" In other words: I love him. I mean I hate him. I mean I love him. Oy veh. I guess I'll never understand folks like this. But here's a crazy idea: Grow up and trust Obama. Or at least lend the man the benefit of the doubt. Unlike some of his fair-weather fans, he is consistent. And he's been right more often than wrong (see: lame duck session). Once again, "To see what is in front of one's nose needs a constant struggle."
