Tip-toeing through the tulips or the cow-pies - and they seem to step in it. Whether tax issues, inability to pronounce names, getting names wrong, or just plain treating them badly ... the Obama administration has had a terrible two months. It is not easy to get a message across when so many within the administration, or potential wannabes keep mucking up the message for Obama.

Attorney General Chided for Language on Race
By HELENE COOPER
WASHINGTON — President Obama has chided his attorney general, Eric H. Holder Jr., for describing America as a “nation of cowards” when discussing race, wading into a tumult that flared over Mr. Holder’s indictment of the way this country talks about ethnicity.
“I think it’s fair to say that if I had been advising my attorney general, we would have used different language,” Mr. Obama said in a mild rebuke from America’s first black president to its first black attorney general.
