Liberal remorse sets in...
My Private Obama
by Robert Kuttner
"But even a dire economic crisis and a Republican blockade of needed remedies have not fundamentally altered the temperament, trajectory, or tactical instincts of this surprisingly aloof president. He has not been willing or able to use his office to move public opinion in a direction that favors more activism. Nor has Obama, for the most part, seized partisan and ideological opportunities that hapless Republicans and clueless corporate executives keep lobbing him like so many high, hanging curve balls."

...and that's always been the problem w/ liberals...
there does seem to be a pattern here... but it is remarkable how little Obama has made of the opportunities he has been presented with so far. I like Kuttner's point about FDR in 1934 and Bush in 2002 building their majorities. Given that the Republicans are almost as bad, where does that leave us?
