How fast things changes. Only a few short months later, you can still purchase an Obama t-shirt or mug with ease, but it&#8217;s not in your face with a makeshift stand erected every twenty feet or so. Or maybe it&#8217;s just my imagination. Maybe a lot of it&#8217;s still there and I&#8217;ve become inured to it. Typing on the Acela from Washington to NY, this trip to DC already seems a blur, having spent most of it either in the house office buildings or the PJTV studio on M Street from which we broadcast last night&#8217;s healthcare forum with Reps. Eric Cantor and David Price, among others.]]>Thu, 23 Jul 2009 06:46:21 -0400<![CDATA[Roger L.
