Adam Nagourney has this analysis of Obama and the Left-wing of the Democratic party in the Times (December 26). In reading it, I was reminded of all the reasons I voted for Obama, and yet I am not surprised by the way he is governing. Nagourney's take is inside DC politics; but there is something very Chicago about Obama's manner of governing. Is there any way to govern the U.S. except from the middle?
