Great Op-ed:
At the 2007 Jefferson-Jackson dinner in Iowa, Obama delivered a speech that proved decisive in his campaign’s victory there, and thus his national victory. But its core wasn’t a policy agenda. It was, in a way, a philosophical agenda. It was a promise about how Obama would do business more than about what business he would do. .............But President Obama soon found himself faced with a choice: he could change U.S. politics, or change U.S. policy. He chose changing policy.
