WaPo. Obama scores early victory of historic proportions
Twenty-four days into his presidency, Barack Obama recorded last night a legislative achievement of the sort that few of his predecessors achieved at any point in their tenure.
As I’ve said before, Obama’s political skills are scary good. He got a huge bill passed quickly and the Republicans are in disarray. These trends will continue.
Yeah my personal reading is despite the picture of failure and turmoil in the media, Obama is actually plowing ahead pretty steadily in his agenda. If his only catastrophes so far are lack of cabinet appointees I’d say he’s doing very well. President Bush barely listened to his Secretary of State, I doubt President Obama is weakened in the slightest without a Secretary of Commerce.
