Why Barack should turf Jim Johnson
So, what do you all think about the recent Jim Johnson/cheap loans flare up?
Personally, I think it is important for Obama to deal with this fairly, transparently, and promptly, and in a manner that is consistent with the politics of change he has been preaching the last year or two.
In other words, I think he should can Johnson, acknowledge poor vetting and be the first to say he believes in his message and understands that Johnson's role in his campaign is at odds with his message.
I really hope Barack does this, but it seems that for the moment he is disinclined to. I wonder why that is? Any ideas, folks?

Pshew. Johnson resigns, 5 days after the story broke. Obama's comments generally thank Johnson for his service and attempt to move forward, which is a shame as I think he's missing a teachable moment here. I wish his team would pounce on these opportunities to showcase his character and strengths as aggressively as they do McCain's verbal mistakes.
