Great article on how Republicans, and specifically Newt Gingrich, are screwing themselves by refusing to acknowledge Obama’s success in his handling of the dread pirate menace:
Here’s the problem: If Republicans can’t allow that the president did his job well in this unambiguous case, why should we believe their complaints about anything else? If they can’t pat him on the back for this one, why should we even listen to their arguments about the budget, about health care, about energy?
If Republicans want Americans to see their arguments as credible — as they may well be — they need to present themselves as the credible opposition.
