Might I remind the TFP that there were few of us here who expected a post-Bush presidency to be daisies and butterflies.
That Obama didn't have a crystal ball while campaigning should come as no surprise. How many presidents had one?
The president needs to compromise as he comes across certain realities. I'm sorry...how is this like Bush?
