Obama has the right of a honeymoon. Neither Vicente Fox in Mexico, nor Fidel Castro in Cuba, can wait forever for Mr. Obama to control the loonies in Washington.
As Paul Krugman put it very well today in the NYT.
"But the answer to that is, what political consensus? There are still, alas, a significant number of people in our political life who stand on the side of the torturers. But these are the same people who have been relentless in their efforts to block President Obama’s attempt to deal with our economic crisis and will be equally relentless in their opposition when he endeavors to deal with health care and climate change. The president cannot lose their good will, because they never offered any."
Well said Paul. The time is now. Please President Obama, it is time to act, the problems will only get worse if you wait.
