As the writer says, Obama is a long way from being a “Comeback Kid.” But I dispute her conclusion that McConnell and the pubbies did a “dfantastic job” in the lame duck.

I would've, too...until I read the report on the amendments to the New START Treaty.

Having read them, it seems to me that we got damn near everything we wanted -- and a significant number of Democrats had to vote for them to pass.

If ten or twelve 'Pubbies chose to vote for the treaty, as amended, I haven't a problem.

But I DO have a problem with the MSM. There were no reports whatsoever about the amendments. Indeed, my understanding was that the treaty could NOT be amended. Nonetheless, the GOP managed to defuse every objection we might have had.

But the press represented it as a pristine triumph for the Obama agenda...and we got gulled.

Read Clarice's report and tell me what you think...
