The Democratic Strategist has just posted a strategy memo by me on why Obama can’t be an activist, an organizer, a legislator and a president all at once.  It applies some of my ideas from Ruling Passions to what’s going on now.  My fans might find it of interest; my critics, great fun to insult.  Or the other way around—who knows.

One Response to “Why Obama can’t play every role at once”

  1. Seth says:

    A distinct role for Obama in an era of legislative deadlock: “defender of justice under law”

    Dream on … there is NO role in which this president has shown LESS interest.

    That’s not to say he might not position himself as “tough on crime” provided the “crimes” in question were committed by impoverished immigrants, indebted homeowners, etc. All corporate criminals are — naturally — above the law. To say nothing of state torturers in secret prisons and such.
