I don't believe he did this for notoriety, or for kudos.

But he stood there and saluted eighteen times. Eighteen times.

You're right. He understands.

It's working. Agreed: behind the scenes much more than in front of the MSM. Thank goodness, as far as I'm concerned.

More to come, I suspect.

Had Obama set up his own agenda and forced others (on both sides of the aisle) to play along or else, we'd have had ... Bush. Or Cheney?

Your money line: "All it took was a lot of pressure from the masses."

But it seemed to take the Republican right-wing and Blue Dog days of summer to make progressive liberals pay attention. Why do Democrats seem to passively await the right cross before putting on the boxing gloves?

President Obama may understand that better than many. It's important to remember, though, that with every achievement comes a call to work harder than ever.
