I share your concerns re: the speech...no matter my criticisms, I really want him to succeed....big time...as you do too.....the content and tenor of the speeches in MI this w/e made me excited that perhaps he's finally gotten it... I suppose we can hope for the best and prepare to be disappointed.... We have to also remember that his job is on the line---this kind of problem is a good steroid for most people...also, last night it occurred to me that he's got the burden(and luck) of being the first black president......I can bet lots of $$$ that he's given time to thinking about what his failing will do---not only for his ego but also current and future generations of black or brown candidates.... Can't even begin to really know why he's behaved in such a disappointing manner so far...but for all we know, Jonathan Chait, tejek, pal and others are right and Obama has had the long view and we liberals have been unrealistic re: what he can accomplish in his first term against racist Rs who'd prefer to see a bullet go thru his head than for this country's fortunes to improve right now....
