Hmm again.
Yet another famous liberal is expressing public concern with the Obama administration. Like Camille Paglia (see previous post), Howard Fineman, Newsweek's senior Washington Correspondent and columnist, doesn't want to blame the President himself. After all, he's so smart; so judicious; such "an industrious overachiever."
And yet, Fineman is worried enough to sound off (in a Newsweek column entitled, "A Turning Tide?") about Obama's poor showing thus far.
Luckily for Obama, the public still likes and trusts him, at least judging by the latest polls, including NEWSWEEK's. But, in ways both large and small, what's left of the American establishment is taking his measure and, with surprising swiftness, they are finding him lacking.
