Right Wingers aren't intelligent enough to understand Ironic laughter.
Obama expressed it perfectly in his answer to Steve Croft during the interview... A litle gallows humor... If anyone had told him Iraq wold not be his number one concern just a few months ago- no one would have believed it. Alas, Bush's incompetent handling of the economy leaves us with two choices essentially...Laugh or cry. Diana, it is so lame and pathetic for you folks to attack Obama for the stupidest notions. What is really laughable is the wafer-thin counter-budget the GOP presented without a single number. They completely embarrassed themselves rolling out a half-assed bogus budget that had the same old bigger tax cuts for the already rich as their panacea...That wasn't a budget-that was a pipe dream!

A Push for Prison Reform
Sen. Jim Webb (D-VA) will launch an effort to reform the nation's prison system today at noon, his staff says, introducing a bill--the National Criminal Justice Act of 2009--that would create a bipartisan commission on reform. The commission would undertake an 18-month review of the U.S. prison system, offering recommendations at the end.
Prison reform is a difficult thing to achieve, politically. Nearly every politician wants to be perceived as "tough on crime," and suggesting that too many Americans are being incarcerated can seem to run against that. (Webb has, in fact, pointed out that the U.S. has attained the highest incarceration rate in the world.) Add tough discussions of prison conditions, inmate crime, and abuse, and it's not an easy task for a politician to undertake.
Webb has succeeded in pushing major legislation through Congress before, as his 21st Century GI Bill passed last year. And it's hard for anyone to accuse the former Navy secretary of not being "tough" enough. Reported support from Democratic leaders, President Obama, and interest from Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Arlen Specter could help him in this latest endeavor.
