    Obama is Brilliant!

    Welcome to governance from the center, which is how most (including Glenn) predicted Obama would govern.

    And it's truly brilliant. Obama knows that Americans as a whole want things to return to "normal" and not be upset by investigations, indictments of high officials, and other activities that might destroy the illusions of their lives.

    Americans don't want to be discomfited. They want to go to the mall.

    The brilliance of Obama is that he knows and genuinely believes that fulfilling those desires is his purpose.
