Now here’s something interesting.
Pat Robertson, Mr Evangelical himself, came out on CNN to tear Bush a new one and also praise Obama’s conduct, all in the same segment. Put on your hard hats kids, because this one might cause some headaches if you aren’t prepared.
“The Katrina matter was terrible. The rebuilding of Iraq has been terrible. The [handling] of the economy right now has been terrible. It hasn’t been handled in what I would consider a professional manner.”
Robertson said history may be kinder to Bush than current opinion. “But I believe I would look at about a C-minus right now if I were grading him,” he said.
…
Robertson said Tuesday he was optimistic about the incoming Obama administration. “I am remarkably pleased with Obama,” he told Malveaux. “I had grave misgivings about him. But so help me, he’s come in forcefully, intelligently. He’s picked a middle of the road cabinet. And so far, if he continues down this course, he has the makings of a great president. So, I’m very pleased so far.”
I want to make a distinction here. I criticized Obama’s recruitment of Rick Warren to give the invocation at his inauguration because that’s a case of pandering. This, however, is proof of actions leading to praise. Big difference. Obama doesn’t need to bring in nutjob pastors to speak at his events, his presidential conduct and intelligent handling of matters will bring even former adversaries to his side. This is proof of that.
