Barack Obama’s Long Game
While for the most part I feel politico is usually mouth pice for right wingers this is a well writen article worth a read.
"Barack Obama is not a modest man, but when it comes to assessing his or any presidents place in the long American story, he has been heard to say, We just try to get our paragraph right. Yet the way a raft of recent events have broken sharply in his favor, Obama suddenly seems well on his way to writing a whole pageor at least a big, fat passagein the history books.
From the Supreme Court decisions upholding his signature health care plan and the right of gay Americans to marry, to contested passage of fast track trade authority, the opening of normal diplomatic relations with Cuba and an international agreement to curtail Irans nuclear weapons program, Obama is on a policy and political roll that would have seem unimaginable to many in Washington only a few months ago." .............
