President Obama is guilty of having a lot of good ideas, and certainly far better ones than those coming out of the idiot side of the ideological divide. Anyone who reads me regularly knows that I think this is one of them.
But my problem with him, and a problem more and more Americans are having with him, is the fact that there's no fight in him (to borrow a phrase from my mother). Politics has always been the art of combat as well as compromise, and the latter isn't worth a thing unless it's preceded by the former. Then, it's a true compromise; otherwise, it's just saying "uncle" to the bullies, and begging them to bully you some more.
I've seen Obama's learning curve kick in at the last minute before. I hope I'm seeing it again.
