Thank you very much, FRiend!

Happy New Year to you and all you love!

Coming back from vacation and reading the articles I missed, I think this is a weaker VDH piece of all. There is a valid cynical calculation of keeping your enemies closer, but I think the recent history showed that American voters respond better to a straightforward clear message. Look at such examples as Gingrich revolution of 1994, or reaction to W himself when he is staying on message. To me the biggest problem of this administration is not a behind the scene politicking, but an absence of continues strong communication with a clear message.
