Kathryn, I second that emotion. The tailspin here started when POTUS did not talk nearly enough about Iraq from the time he was re-elected until the big speech in June. That let the other side fill the void, which they gleefully did. When this administration is on offense, they do it very well. Our usual complaint is that they too often have to get pushed into a corner before engaging. This time, POTUS is not letting that happen. Thank God.
