For the first time in my adult lifetime, I am really proud of President Obama. I 'm not particularly proud of the tax-cut deal he and the Republicans negotiated. But I'm proud that he has finally stood firm against the likes of Peter DeFazio.
One White House official told me that Obama will build a "shifting set of coalitions, issue by issue" over the next two years. If so, and if Obama will no longer allow those in the Capitol to run his presidency, he'll have a strong couple of years.
