Deep Thought

You know sometimes I read through blogs that I really respect like Atrios and Digby and I leave there glad that they aren't all giddy about the Obama presidency.

My guess is had there been blogs during the Clinton administration, you know before Gore invented them, bloggers like Atrios, Digby and writings from other liberal Democrats, would have been very critical of him as well. I just don't see Dibgy writing in support of President Clinton's Defense of Marriage Act, or his decision to bomb Yugoslavia into submission. Nor do I see Atrios jumping for joy at Clinton's plan to reignite the Reagan star wars program, which was essentially a massive Military Industrial Complex stimulus act.  Something tells me that today's elite liberal bloggers would have been very critical of what was a very moderate two-terms by Bill Clinton.  I was a little young to remember all of the 90s and the political discussions of the day; I just don't see the liberal blogosphere getting too excited about NAFTA or Welfare to Work.
