MATT DRISCOLL: YOU KNOW IT'S BAD WHEN >>>

Barak-obama Maureen Dowd, who humped Obama's leg for what seems like the entirety of 2007, is jumping off the bandwagon.

As January fades into memory and February begins to show its hand, have we already lost that warm, fuzzy Obama high we all seemed to be riding? Are you a Krugman? A Brooks?

That's a real question, Tacoma and Olympia? How are you feeling? Has the stimulus debacle soured you? Or are you as confident as ever? Is it only those whose job it is to stir shit up who are beginning to be more critical of Obama (as perhaps they should)? Or has the country's economic woes, along with the President's appointees' tax problems (you knew something was fishy when Daschle started wearing those ridiculous glasses) and the divisive nature of the stimulus fight left you wondering where the change is?

And what are your thoughts on the stimulus bill that's apparently very close to being reached in the Senate (or appears to have been reached, depending on where you look)?
