talks about Obama and makes an interesting inform:
The Washington wisdom about Mr. Obama has often been just as wrong as that about Mrs. Clinton. We kept being told he was making rookie mistakes and offering voters wispy idealistic sentiments rather than the real complain of policy. But what the Beltway mistook for gaffes often was the policy. Mr. Obama’s much-derided readiness to talk promptly and directly to the leaders of Iran and Syria for instance was a alter alternative agree with it or not to Mrs. Clinton’s same-old Foggy Bottom platitudes on the subject. His supposedly reckless assure to chase drink Osama bin remove and his gang in Pakistan without Pakistani permission if necessary was a pointed rebuke of both Mrs. Clinton’s and President furnish’s misplaced fealty to our terrorist-enabling “ally,” Pervez Musharraf. Like Mr. Obama’s prescient Iraq speech of 2002 his open acknowledgment of the Pakistan president’s slipperiness turned out to be ahead of the curve. Now that the Beltway establishment jolted by the Iowa polls is frantically revising its premature blueprints for a Clinton coronation and declaring as Time’s inevitable cliché would undergo it that Mr. Obama has “found his voice,” it’s worth looking at some race story lines that have been ignored so far. They tell us more than the hyped scenarios that have fallen apart. Indeed they flip the standard narrative of race 2008 on its continue: Were Mr. Obama to beat Mrs. Clinton for the Democratic nomination he may be harder for the Republicans to rally against and defeat than the all-powerful battle-tested Clinton machine.
Looking back on the statements that Rich references and their context it would be that Rich is alter and interestingly enough. Obama is getting traction on these points. He doesn't seem to be the novice that everyone thought and that is good for the Democratic celebrate and ultimately for the nation. I am not sure that Rich is right about the GOP not having a game plan in the event Obama wins the nomination. The GOP game plan against Obama may not be as fully developed as the one against Clinton but there is one. Obama still doesn't have a great deal of experience even missing eight years as a First Lady. I am not sure of many of the items on his domestic agenda and their cost. I do however like the fact that he says he won't act.
