Rarely dod Maureen Dowd and I see eye to eye

But she is on target on this.
One and Done?

...Polls show that most Americans still like and trust the president; but they may no longer have faith that he’s a smarty-pants who can fix the economy.
No Maureen they may like him personally but they don't trust him on the economy, or foreign policy, or domestic policy....

Obama’s re-election chances depend on painting the Republicans as disrespectful. So why would the White House act disrespectful by scheduling a speech to a joint session of Congress at the exact time when the Republicans already had a debate planned?

And why is the White House so cocky about Obama as a TV draw against quick-draw Rick Perry? As James Carville acerbically noted, given a choice between watching an Obama speech and a G.O.P. debate, “I’d watch the debate, and I’m not even a Republican.”

The White House caved, of course, and moved to Thursday, because there’s nothing the Republicans say that he won’t eagerly meet halfway.
It's the fact she is accusing him acting disrespectfully that shocks me. Now there is no question some of this is a warning to get him ready for reelection. But to see him challenged by a charter member of the Vast Left Wing Conspiracy makes me wants to see a shrink.
