I'm sure you're right about his style -- but that all came to a head over the handling of Iraq -- which is an issue. In fact, it is the biggest issue.

What you say made sense a decade or two years ago. But Democrats who strike a bipartisan pose with this Admininstration get used, and get nothing for it. Except the ego-striking that Joe loves. Most politicians are self-aggrandizing, but those who do it at the expense of their own party are in a different category.

This Administration won't be around forever. It would be good if future adminstrations didn't handle things the same way, although I fear a cycle of revenge. Gotta think long term.

You like this side of him?

I'm not sure why he answered that way. Not a politically astute answer.
Maybe he is taking personally all the shit slung at him by many on the left of the Party and/or thinking that the world might not be a better place if they were in charge and we immediately pulled out of Iraq.
