More on Johnson

New York Times: Has a detailed article on the background to the resignation of Mr Johnson. The analyses points out a very important fact, Obama has a problem, he won the nomination based on change but those that work the system, have links in all areas of the Beltway. In other words to run in the General Election Obama is going to need those that know how how the system works, its better to win with help form the old professionals around the D.C than lose but keep your hands clean. Politics is ruthless and harsh, and you need the best professionals to win, Obama kept Reverend Wright longer than Mr Johnson. The quick fix of a removal does show some weakness on the part of Obama.
