I mean "symbolically," just by getting elected, he made some of us feel better, but that was never gonna be enough. For quite awhile now it's been clear that his enemies will not lift a finger to help him or the country.
And his open, extended-hand approach has been a big joke! If you continue to try to embrace the guy that's kicking you in the shins, you look like a patsy. Obama has looked like a patsy.
So maybe, he's finally concluded that in order to be re-elected he needs to change course. I guess I'd say yeah, ABOUT TIME!
