Obama Act Like Clinton?

Obama’s been lectured recently by the just-left-of-center media to act like Clinton. He’s been warned that if he does not, he’s a one-termer.

Clinton was no dummy. After the disaster of the 1994 mid-term elections Clinton immediately switched gears, re-making himself as more the president of the US than the leader of the Democratic party and in the process staying as far away from far-lefty types as possible, including many of those who came over from his campaign.

Thus, by 1996 Clinton had become a fan of limited government. He ditched his wife’s1993 health plan and went on to work with Republicans in Congress on several moderate reforms, not the least of which were free trade and welfare.

Can BO do this, does he have the sense to rid the WH of extremists, and if so, will it save his presidency? "No" on all counts.
