bin laden. an in-depth look at what s really going on in london, what s behind this week s unrest. first, here is my take. over the last week, liberal politicians and commentators in america took to the air waves and op ed pages to criticize the debt deal congress reached. but their not directed at the tea party or the republicans but barack obama, who they claim failed as a president because of his persistent tendency to compromise. this has been a running theme ever since barack obama took office. i think liberals grow up. as the new republicans jonathan chaep brilliantly points out, there s a recurring liberal fantasy that only if the president of the united states would give a stirring speech, he would sweep the country along with the sheer power of his poetry and enact his agenda. in this view, every known impediment to the legislative process, special interest lobbying, not to mention certain settled beliefs of public policy are but tiny stick huts trembling in the face
