I think we are well on the way to discovering that Obama's talk is more radical than his actions. He's what used to be called "a trimmer". Find a mid-course. Which would be alright if both ends were as powerful as each other -- but when you have a rightwing that has bludgeoned everyone into submission for many years, compromise is a kind of capitulation (the banking regulation issue is another one he fudged on yesterday. He's not really going to do anything serious).
