I understand he's a polemicist, and that he's sincere, but sometimes he needs to know about the inner workings of the field or topic he's talking about before he really should write stuff that's so strident.<br /><br />He's has a tendency over the years to ignore historically major character flaws and questionable political gamesmanship history in people who say things he likes (Mitch Daniels, GW Bush among others), and zero in on people like Hillary or Gore for character flaws that really are less disturbing. It's the double standard he tends to have for character that bothers me because he'll often comment on people like Mitch Daniels or Paul Ryan without really looking at what they've actually done.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8512362.post-42944874572095767642011-02-15T19:53:15.792-05:002011-02-15T19:53:15.792-05:00the President did the same thing on health care an...the President did the same thing on health care and more or less got what he wanted.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
