When it comes to governance, Pulitzer prize-winning journalist Ron Suskind said last night, the United States is on probation. In a lecture at Harvard Law School entitled “America at a Crossroads,” Suskind tried to make sense of the “extraordinary” legacy of the Bush administration and the subsequent challenges the next president will face. “The office of the presidency has been stretched out of shape, and it won’t snap back on its own,” he said.

...Klein wrote that, asked by tv journalist Tom Brokaw whether health care is a privilege, a right or a responsibility, "Obama began his response with a simple declarative sentence: 'I believe that health care is a right for every American.'" In fact, Obama began his response by saying: "Well, why don't - why don't - let's talk about this, Tom, because there was just a lot of stuff out there." Brokaw replied, "Privilege, right or responsibility. Let's start with that." Obama then said, "Well, I think it should be a right for every American." If accurate quotes...
