I wonder if Plouffe and Dunn will end up working in the White House ... They all better be back together in four years!

It makes me feel good that the decision to address the Rev. Wirght media bonanza the way Obama chose to was really all his decision. He not only wrote the entire "More Perfect Union" speech himself in order to address the emerging media narrative but the decision to do so was a top down executive decision.

Obama is a leader. That there was no in-fighting or leaks to media over in-fighting is a testimony to Obama's leadership skills. This reminds me of another story from the campaign:

"And he was upset with his own campaign after a low-level staffer referred in a press release to Clinton as "(D-Punjab)" because of her ties to supporters of India. "I don't want you guys freelancing and, quote, protecting me from what you're doing," he lectured his staff. "I'm saying this loud and clear-no winks, no nods here," he said, irritated to take the heat for a clumsy dirty trick he had not known about and would never have authorized. "I'm looking at every one of you. If you think you're close to the line, the answer isn't to protect me-the answer is to ask me.""
