Seriously, isn’t it amazing just how impressive the people being named to key positions in the Obama administration seem? Bye-bye hacks and cronies, hello people who actually know what they’re doing.

Of course, if one defines "grownup" as a person who agrees with Paul Krugman, and "hack" as a person who does not, then one might come to a different conclusion.
Íncrivel como a ideologia não poupa ninguém de ser transformado num perfeito idiota.
Provavelmente assim serão os quatro (oito) anos de Barack Obama: tudo que ele fizer, não importa o quê, será considerado sofisticado, adulto e intelectual.
Por quê?
Como dizem os gringos, because they said so.
