If nothing else, I am in awe of the adaptivity shown in this regard.

Agreed. This is the same tact used in other arenas. It goes from "he's a miserable failurem" to "we still haven't caught Saddam" to "Catching Saddam hasn't made us safer." These people need to get their head our of their ass and step back for a moment. THINGS ARE GETTING BETTER. Are they perfect? No. Will they ever be? Of course not. But that they are getting better is really not a matter that is debatable right now. So if your remaining argument is "Things are not as good as you promised they would be" well, OK you are probably right so far. But give it time. It has only been 8 months since we went into Iraq. The tax cuts have only been in effect for about that same amount of time (though they were retroactive to 1/1).
Another note. You are both right to say its hard to judge the effects of the tax cut. What makes it even harder is that THE TAX CUT REALLY HASN'T GONE INTO EFFECT YET! The bulk of it is back ended.
