I can't believe the drone from the beltway insiders that Senator Obama is untouchable: can't be primaried and can't be challenged.
And I don't even 'blame Obama', at least to this degree: he did what every beltway insider probably recommended and what every President since Carter has done, including Jed Bartlett: punt.
And so what about that?
Well, it's doubly frustrating, because the Democrats have been working right along (pay-go, etc.) to the point where they had a growing tracking record in support of a "brand" that they were far more credible than the GOP, including on punts and on 'interventions' (GM bailout, Mexico bailout, etc.).
I know Larry Summers probably thinks of it as just laying down a bunt, but I know a punt when I see one.

Obama is King
