OBAMA FINE MONTH

++When Chuck Todd will admit anything about President Obama, the "aloof", disdainful. bored" President it is news. He admits he is rocking it these days.

++It's nice the press finally admits it. 

++Kevin Drum thinks we should add net neutrality and his Russian policy to his accomplishments. Drum, writing in Mother Jones,says that what President Obama has done is "fuck with the Republicans' heads". Remember the "Adult Americans" who would come to the new Congress and "govern". Drum believes the initiatives President Obama have taken make it totally necessary for the GOP leadership to allow their tea party wing to rant and rave in the first months of the new Congress. 

++ He believes that the chaos that will ensue will last at least two months. I predict it has to end with the funding bill for Homeland Security where the right want to stop President Obama's immigration initiatives.

++Greg Sargent believes President Obama's new activism is helps frame the 2016 Republican primaries and put the GOP in the past on the issues. 

++President Obama had some fun today when he said "He loves the Bush family." This will play well for Jeb, who stepped in it a day before Obama's breakthrough with Cuba,argued you don't negotiate with authoritarian regimes. Now the right-wingers can  say that Obama loves Jeb.

++Some o-ed writers believe we will see an Autumn Summer of President Obama's approval rating. It has inched up two points over the past two weeks.
