McCain’s face says, “I’m about to take you over my knee on this one Obama.”   But really this was another example of a non-issue being thrown in the furnace just to generate confrontation.  The planes were ordered during G.W.’s term. Yes, we know that procurement is an issue, but was it enough of an issue to throw up the hand?

Right now it seems as if Republicans are on the rope. How can the clarify their position in this discussion on the economy? How can they show relevancy when they are not the leaders of the conversation? The dogs are barking. Let’s see how long we can keep them in a cage.
