Welcome Back, My Friends, to the Show That Never Ends

A Democrat wins a presidential election, and the media begins the usual chorus for governing from the center. How many times do we have to sit through this same old song and dance? Obama doesn’t need to work with Republicans to win the public’s trust if “working with Republicans” means “giving up on a progressive agenda.” He just needs to make sure that the progressive policies he implements work. After the last eight years, it’ll be such a nice change of pace to see government that can walk and chew gum at the same time, I don’t think people will much mind if Republican backbenchers are complaining.
