...election of Barack Obama does not represent a "new liberal order" so much as the latest desire to establish responsibility in the congressional playpen. For decades, Americans have voted in politicians with the hope that they would work together for the common good. And for decades, most of these politicians have acted like spoiled, self-interested toddlers. "Change we can believe in"? Our needs are much simpler than that.

Ordering up solutions to this economic crisis is getting to be like ordering a latte from Starbucks: On second thought, we'll take the bigger...
...Barack Obama represents a profound moral breakthrough in history as well as in human attitudes in America. He is proof that what seemed almost unthinkable yesterday is now possible. Visiting the South in the mid-'50s, I confronted racism not only in the streets but also in the courts. The law itself was racist, ugly, inhuman. I felt shame. Now, 50 years later, America is proud...
