Another Data Point

… and I’m one of them.

Whatever the progressive complaints about the Obama administration may be, isn’t it nice to be able to have some confidence that our government is returning to competence?

It’s early days, but consider the difference between Bush’s response to Katrina/New Orleans and Obama’s response to the Haitian disaster. To me, the difference is already clear.

I’ll make a couple predictions here:

1) The American response to the Haiti catastrophe will prove vastly superior to the national response to the Katrina disaster

2) There will be excessive right-wing disparaging of that effort to mask (1) above.
