Positively Plouffeian

By Baxter

We cats have noticed that the messaging from the White House has become crisper of late.

And we think we have David Plouffe to thank for it.

We always did believe that it was a mistake for President Obama to allow his sharpest political guru to remain in Chicago during the first two years of the Administration. So Plouffe didn't want to leave his family and move to Washington? Tough patooties. The President should have put his foot down, and the Plouffe children should have been doomed to grow up neglected and resentful. After all, the future of the country was at stake.

But better late than never. In the meantime, we cats will admit to being pleased at Plouffe's canny comments about the famous quitter from Alaska's possible run for the Presidency. We also thought that today's Washington Post story — about the teabaggers helping Democrats next month — had Plouffe's fingerprints all over it.

We think this augurs well — both for the next three and a half weeks of campaigning, and for the prep for 2012.

So welcome back, David. We cats PURR in your direction. But you never should have been gone in the first place.
