Those who think PBO is weak are projecting, imo, how they would be if in his shoes. One thing that really bothers me about the harping done by many on DU, is the failure to accept the limits of his power. "He is to negotiate the best position for as many of us as he can under circumstances that we can only imagine but oftentimes fail to appreciate. That is his job." He was not elected to be a dictator or tyrant, and he can only work with the Congress he has, not the one we wish he had.

Thank you for posting this, freshwest. Reading it was a very nice end to my day.
