Political Historian Garry Wills: Obama Still Runs Bush's Secret Empire


I happen to like President Obama. He is far from perfect, true. And in some ways he scares me a little. Remember the scene in Karate Kid, when Miagi tells The Kid, "Karate do. Karate, no do. Stand in middle get crushed like grape!"....well more and more it appears to me that BO isn't inclined to stand tough on one side or the other. It's fairly obvious from down here that BO has maintained several of the stickier characteristics of the Bush administration. And stories like this just shed more light on others. The problem is, if BO doesn't make his mind up on what he actually wants us to feel he's committed to and finds comfort in the one leg up and one leg down pose of the Leaping Crane position, on the bow of the rowboat, it won't be long before he and all of us are taking a big and unexpected bath because nothing of any great measure, will be resolved or repaired in this country during his presidency. BO! Please. Change do. Change, no do. Stand in middle, we all get cushed like grape.
