The President is no revolutionary but a reactionary pushing against the progressive tide. Americans feel poorer, less safe and less free than four years ago.

The topic took center stage at last week's meeting of European Socialist leaders in Madrid. "Voting yes for the European constitution is a step forward; voting no is a step backward toward crisis," Spanish Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero advised the French Socialists.
