WSJ Tracks Underbelly!

It's always unsettling to be shadowed, and particularly unsettled by the Wall Street Journal Opinion page. But Kimberley Strassel seems to have been reading Underbelly; she's picked up the meme that Obama's most formidable headache may turn out to be the Democrats (cf. link and link).

I said before that the reason may be that they don't fear him. But there is a piece of melancholy good news here: it may be tht they don't fear anything enough to knuckle under and do whatever he says. This would suggest that whatever their mindsest, they aren't as stark staring petrified as just about everybody seems to have been at the inaugurtion of Franklin D. Roosevelt. Could it be that Congresspeople actually know something worth knowing? Could it be that things are really not as bad as they seem?
