I'm hearing echoes of Bill Clinton, circa 1996, in President Obama's reelection rhetoric.

It's a deft trick to turn American exceptionalism into an exceptional political tactic.

At the start of his second term, one wonders less about Obama's fitness than his willingness: Why doesn't he do more to build and maintain the relationships required to govern in era of polarization?

Obama will learn from his mistakes.

President Obama is casting his lot in the middle of a debate as old as America itself: Are we rugged individualists pulling ourselves up by the bootstraps? Or are we a nation of community, all connected and counting on one another?

Every now and then, a presidential candidate surprises us with a truly human and honest moment.

Romney and Democratic rival President Obama have led their partisan backers down a trail of lies, negativity and vacuous policies that seem certain to guarantee an angry electorate four more years of gridlock.
