Matt Taibbi's wrong: Obama is still the same, dammit.
Most of you have seen Matt Taibbi's Rolling Stone article by now (see it here: http://www.rollingstone.com/po... ). But the first few paragraphs are what is endemic about the current mess, with this quote being one to which I take immediate exception:

No. It's. Not.
An Open Letter to Senator Byrd, AKA "Comments on Byrd's letter to the POTUS"
