I Hope This is True

Journalists who blog do not use the same standard while blogging so it is important to avoid reading too much into their blogs. Because of their name recognition, their blogs probably seem more credible than they rightfully should. I guess the basic logic is that if the story was strong enough for their employer that is where we would read it. If not, then they blog about it.

Jake Tapper of ABC News is blogging that President Obama has been more successful in de-commissioning terrorists than President Bush. Its an incredible thing to say given the historic weakness of Democratic presidents vis-a-vis anything military. Its even more incredible in light of the historic weakness of this president. But if it is true, then that is great news. After all it isn't important who gets the job done, it only matters that we succeed. If President Obama's team is succeeding, then I say "Fantastic."
