...lost that focus as his other initiatives have come online; he has failed to speak with precision or clarity about the bills wandering through Congress. He has failed to make clear what needs to be in those bills - and what can't be - if he is going to sign them. He also needs to update the public on his stimulus plan, especially now that his Vice President inadvertently dissed it.

Moreover, teams pass the cost of such inflated contracts along to the fans in the form...
However, it’s all but certain that the Nationals will pay whatever it takes to sign Strasburg—they’re under considerable political pressure to do so. The team was criticized for striking out with last year’s top pick, Aaron Crow. Most importantly, though, the Nationals, at an MLB-worst 24-55 as of July 5, desperately need help winning. Too bad one player can never turn a franchise around—especially one who only plays every fifth...
