Obama's shady VP advisor steps down

Obama's shady VP advisor Jim Johnson has stepped down. At The Campaign Spot, Jim Geraghty sees a pattern:
Once again, we see that Obama’s first instinct when encountering a skeptical questioner is to challenge the questioner; ‘no, you’re wrong.’ Twenty-four hours ago, this was ‘a game’ and Johnson didn’t work for Obama. Once again, as with Wright, and the flag pin, and Trinity United, etc., the initial answer is now inoperative.” Right. When do we finally hear, “This isn’t the Bill Ayers I knew,” I wonder? August? September?

The Kos Kids are calling this another amateur-hour goof by the Obama campaign. Well, yeah.
