E.J. Dionne Jr.: "Obama Liberated"



Obama’s audacity of freedom. E.J. Dionne Jr.

 “President Obama is a freer man than he has been at any point in his presidency. He is free from the need to save an economy close to collapse, from illusions that Republicans in Congress would work with him readily, from the threat of a rising tea party movement and from the need to win reelection. This sense of freedom gave his State of the Union address an energy, an ease and a specificity that were lacking in earlier speeches written with an eye toward immediate political needs. It was his most Democratic State of the Union.” E.J. Dionne in The Washington Post.
