Dear All: Dr E here, in behalf of the following message from our coblogger, Jerry Remmer, who as you know is fighting a battle but whose humor and intense interest in the news is running strong.
Dear Dr. E.,
I am too weak to file posts but hope to do so starting this weekend. This is no admonition nor criticism, but I was shocked NO ONE on TMV filed a story on Obama’s press conference.I think he was presidential, defiant, and deferential to reality… in regards to the pending deal over tax extensions, unemployment extension, payroll taxes and other minor areas of trying to help the middle class.
I really don’t give a damn if he caved to the Republicans or pooped on his liberal base. I think Obama has agreed to the only deal politically attainable that would be of some help to the majority of Americans.
As Howard Fineman said, Obama is doing his best not to become a Jimmy Carter.

Go Jer! Look forward to your posts this weekend.
