How not to govern...

White House gets their hand slapped on their "friends only" policy yet, they still don't get it.

The overt politicalization of the White House seems obvious at this point, particularly when compared to many administrations in the past, of both parties. Somehow a group of people openly hostile to most of the ideas of government at the federal level, with unheard-of levels of cynicism (see Rove, Karl "THE Math"), threw away the deepest support an Administration will have for many years to come, because they didn't actually know what to do when they got everything they wanted.

Used to be that the Dems were the ones who shoot themselves in the foot (and this Congress seems on the verge of doing just that--by refusing to follow through on the main reason they were given the majority in the first place). But a lot of things got turned around with this Administration.
