"To see what is in front of one’s nose needs a constant struggle,” George Orwell once wrote. What I see in front of my nose is a president whose character, record, and promise remain as grotesquely underappreciated now as they were absurdly hyped in 2008. And I feel confident that sooner rather than later, the American people will come to see his first term from the same calm, sane perspective. And decide to finish what they started."
—Andrew Sullivan, in his Newsweek article How Obama’s Long Game Will Outsmart His Critics
If you haven’t read this article yet, you really need to. I love that he describes Obama as “a president who has conducted himself with grace and calm under incredible pressure”.
