The Obamsian Moment

Nothing profound today:  just the purest joy.  He's not a miracle worker, but do you have any doubt the whatever his faults--inexperience chief among them--Barack Obama probably won't ever be accused of failing to think through, or talk through, a situation of surpassing import?  Maybe that's setting the bar low, but I'm not looking for promises so much as a good faith effort.  He's a good person.  To me that means listening to others, working through coalitions whenever possible, having the mind and the intellectual patience to work through an issue quickly, systematically, and without prejudgment.  A pragmatist.  Someone who wants the system to work.
