i’ll give them the traditional 100 days before lowering the hammer .. but damn some things have to get done .. both done right and quickly .. our collective asses are really in a crack here ..

what we don’t need is “bipartisanship” at the expense of making this victory into nothing ..

i’m hoping obama is a good field general ..and lucky as hell to boot ..

I do think he is pro-labor in important ways (trade, unions, health care, etc.). Like most Chicago pols, he carefully straddles the line between the two biggest constituencies of the political machine.</p> I wouldn’t put it quite that strongly, but you are not far off.

They are, with important pro-labor exceptions, generally pro-business centrists and he seems to follow the general mold. They also play seriously hardball politics there. Do not for a second underestimate Obama’s toughness. He did not get where he is today by being soft.</p> Bear in mind that Obama is a Chicago Machine politician.
