Here's what I didn't say above: The real world of politics requires compromise. Idealism is nice, but that's all it is. Does anyone think Kucinich is going to actually get any impeaching done? His idealism is inspiring and admirable, but it's not going to produce any results.
Those who blanched at the supposed sainthood of Obama are now screaming about how disappointed they are over this. Those of us who believe him to be a new kind of politician--but still a politician--don't have much trouble with it.
