If Americans have a lick of sense, it makes no difference what Obama is, whatever it is, it is a thousand times better than anything on the right. It is like quibbling over the type of democrat Obama is (center left or right) and complete insanity.

What David Brooks and other's miss is that the right wing is not sane, let alone intellectually competent to run the country. I have problems with Obama, but really, take a good hard look at those Republican presidential nominee's.

None of them can be president or we go right down the rabbit hole with Alice.

And it is crazy to think there is anyone on the right to bargain with. They just make shit up. Like Lindsey Grahm and Mccain dissing Obama for leaving Iraq. That is just crazy talk. All they want to do is destroy Obama and they are willing to destroy the country to do so.

What we liberals have been saying from day one is that Obama would gain nothing by trying to cooperate with them. It is like trying to have a logical conversation with someone who thinks aliens are controlling their thoughts or corporate criminals. I think we were correct. If he gained something by trying to work with the right I missed it.

The Republican party has devolved into a mindless parody of itself. And they are the only other choice.

And Obama does a lot of things very well as he is thoughtful. His two supreme court nominees were great. None of the Republican's were OK and in fact very dangerous IMO e.g. citizens United Decision.
