Spot On

The linked article is a must-read. I couldn't agree more.
My experience with the Obama Administration has been that they play a low-key game and get things done. This frustrates progressives who want the Obama Administration to be about carthartic acts repudiating conservative world views first, and results second. In the media there will always be the contrarian need to judge any speech not by whether it achieved the Administration’s goals, but rather by a perceived lack or surfeit of emotion/policy details/ponies.
