Commentary: Obama a leader who actually leads (by CNN's Cafferty)

[Spazito]

NEW YORK (CNN) -- What a welcome change to feel like someone is running the country instead of running it into the ground.

President Obama has done more in eight weeks than George W. Bush did in eight years -- unless you include starting a couple of wars.

Whether it's creating commissions for women and girls, ordering the investigation of President Bush's use of signing statements, or jamming a huge stimulus package through Congress, the man is working his tail off. And he seems to be loving every minute of it. It's almost as though our president was born to do exactly what he's doing. He's leading, and boy, is that refreshing.

I remember many times when Bush was in office wondering who the hell was running the country. Then he would appear somewhere in front of a handpicked audience to utter some banalities or say something utterly stupid and I would be reminded. I don't miss him.

Good commentary, imo. He isn't all sunshine and roses, he points out areas he considers weak as well but, overall, likes him way, way better than bush, lol.

1. It is a good commentary and Cafferty's one of maybe 5 CNN

characters who doesn't pander hard right.

Unfortunately, the comments to the commentary are getting freeped all over. Anyone have disinfectant handy?
