As many people know, I'm a huge fan of Steven Pearlstein's column in The Washington Post and today's was another superb one. In talking about the agenda President Obama must follow from a practical rather than ideological perspective, he offers one very astute observation of the politics of the last two years and where the biggest share of the blame really belongs:
"Fickle voters, of course, deserve a good part of the blame for this leadership vacuum. Whatever you think of President Obama’s agenda during the past two years, it was pretty much what he had promised. Two years on, his reward was a new Republican majority determined to reverse and delegitimize everything he had done. Now six months after that, the public has decided it doesn’t like the Republican program any better."
