WSJ's Holman Jenkins:
We're still waiting for the brave, original thinking that we were told Mr. Obama represented. Like Washington circa 1978, he has landed for once in a situation where something more than symbolism is required of him. He has finally glided into the land of the real, where the key measurable outcome is no longer whether an audience is glowing with self-approval when he leaves the room.
Have any of these Obama-worshipping lefties who elected him figured this out yet? Have any of the Dems who thought they were getting a Messiah figured out that he's nothing more than a Chicago machine politician concerned only with bestowing favors upon favored constituencies, in this instance Big Labor Unions?
My guess is that the smarter ones are starting to get it. The rest are still drunk on the promises of hope and change.
as always, Jenkins' whole article is definitely worth reading, but that paragraph really stood out and a fundamental truth. Read it all here.
