18. So?
Repubes said W was courageous and "stuck to his guns" too. BFD.

In fact, lets take a quote from that and substitute W for Obama & Iraq for health care.

Why has George Bush risked his presidency for this crusade? Why has he spent more time on this issue than any other president has spent on any other issue in recent memory? The answer opponents will give is some variant of W's conviction that he must impose his solution on America no matter the cost, even to him; that his actions are part of a larger crusade; that he cannot legitimize government as an active force for good in Iraq.


How about less cheer leading and more critical examination of the actual policies. I expect more from the Atlantic.
