A Small Voice of Reasonn

Andrew Sullivan is amazing and amazingly stable. Here is his take on President Obama. I tend to be more negative, along the lines of the writers for the Huffington Post, but I do admire Sullivan's insight.

My view of the president remains what it was two years ago: We're still
lucky to have this small voice of reason in this nutty time. And if he becomes
the first Democratic president to initiate universal healthcare access in his
first year, he will indeed be transformational on a core domestic
question.

Hang in there, Mr President. I have a feeling that the forces that
elected you are re-grouping now we know exactly how determined and incoherent
the opponents of change on all fronts have become. Above all, remember the
discipline you showed in your campaign. You won through a combination of
persistence, strategy and a refusal to take the bait. Don't take the bait, Mr
President. The degenerate right (a better one will come along in time) only
knows Rovian cultural warfare. They want you to fight back on their terrain.
Don't. Just move forward. Talk to the country as a serious president should -
about the problems we face and the debate we need to have to confront them.
