(l NP ) great speech Mr Obama

[David Morris]

I mostly agree w/ Dave here.  I would have loved to see DOJ investigate
Cheny's torture machine (and there is a long list of things I wish he'd been
more aggressive with), but Obama inherited a lot, and had some big goals of
his own he wanted to accomplish too (healthcare).  In my opinion, he's been
far too accommodating, and I think it's going to cost him.  His opposition
wants only his demise, and cares nothing about any greater good.  They are
essentially willfully crazy.  His fault has been to hold back, not attack
their craziness, try too much to hew a middle ground.
