She's had a lot of experience in gaging how PBO "approaches" his job. I think her summation of those calling him "bush lite" is spot on when she suggests they "simply project on to him their own expectations of politicians".

And, indeed they might have missed this from the Charlie Rose show( no doubt!)..

...On the other hand, what I also believe is its useful to have a bunch of critics out there who are checking government power and who are making sure we are doing things right so that if we've triple-checked how we're operating any one of these programs, lets go quadruple-check it. I'm comfortable with that and I'm glad to see that we are starting to do that.

So, listen up Snowden, Ron Paul supporter.. your plan to bring down PBO isn't working so well.

Mahalo for this excellent piece, she!
