Politicking
David Brooks - What Obama Stands For:
Readers of this column know that I’ve been critical on health care and other matters. Obama is four clicks to my left on most issues. He is inadequate on the greatest moral challenge of our day: the $9.7 trillion in new debt being created this decade. He has misread the country, imagining a hunger for federal activism that doesn’t exist. But he is still the most realistic and reasonable major player in Washington.
David Brooks is a GREAT columnist. I’d love to hear him speak somewhere, sometime.
