David Brooks of course should be expected to take this position. I can imagine however that there are many who can argue that Obama has gone too slow, has not swung for the fences, that has not been aggressive enough. This is soft impressionist rhetoric that doesn't really help us much. To rely on public opinion polls for wisdom about politics is not only foolish but it smacks of much ignorance of the way public opinion works and how the public is polled. The questions almost demand a given answer. So I think Brooks is true to form as a opponent of Democratic leadership.
