The Obama Touch?

I find it interesting that the day after the President-Elect visited our Lame-Duck-in-Chief, the latter resorted to a string of mea culpas for his attitude toward the wars - the first ever sign of any remorse whatsoever throughout his eight-year reign. Coincidence? A strategy to garner sympathy in his final days? Did the Obama campaign's attacks on the W administration's tactics make an impression? Or did Barack put George in a headlock and make him promise to "Take it back, take it all back!"?? We'll never know.

I suppose it's good that W does feel some regret. I heard on Keith Olbermann today that a prominent journalist was informed by contacts at a government agency that once January 20 arrives, he (the journalist) should get in touch because then they could give full disclosure on breaches of justice (read: under the Patriot Act) the Bush administration has yet to be exposed for. Perhaps W and his cronies will be taken to task? In that case, he'll need all the sympathy he can get. Verrrrrrrry interesting times, indeed.
