Who's in charge?

By GottaLaff

I've said this often, but as usual, Josh Marshall says it better:

[F]or those who are more critical, I try to keep focusing everyone's attention back on the salient point. With a strong president, appointees, particularly cabinet appointees execute policy. They work for the president. They execute his policies. I think we have a strong president. And unless and until I see policies that don't square with the platform he ran on (which I don't expect) I see no reason to revise that judgment.

That's also what I meant when I've said "be patient", or "hand-wringing not yet necessary", and that I've taken a wait-and-see approach to the impending Obama presidency.

I'd point you to the previous posts, but it would be redundant. For now, just be reassured that Obama's in charge. If you disagree with what he does, his policies, that's a whole other topic for discussion.
