POWIP Piece of Work In Progress

Et tu, Cohen?

In the same vein as yesterday's post on Howard Fineman's epiphany, it seems that Richard Cohen has experienced a "road to Damascus" moment too; a money quote:

"The trouble with Obama is that he gets into the moment and means what he says for that moment only. He meant what he said when he called Afghanistan a "war of necessity" — and now is not necessarily so sure. He meant what he said about the public option in his health care plan — and then again maybe not. He would not prosecute CIA agents for getting rough with detainees — and then again maybe he would."

[emphasis-ed.]
It must be tough on the guys to realize that all of Obama's promises come with an expiration date. On the bright side, if an increasing number in the legacy media become disillusioned with the President stories like this may become a regular feature at POWIP...
