Know what you got

And outside of specific policy measures, two years from now, I want the American people to be able to say, "Government's not perfect; there are some things Obama does that get on my nerves. But you know what? I feel like the government's working for me. I feel like it's accountable. I feel like it's transparent. I feel that I am well informed about what government actions are being taken. I feel that this is a President and an Administration that admits when it makes mistakes and adapts itself to new information, that believes in making decisions based on facts and on science as opposed to what is politically expedient."

That is why I'm so relieved about the Obama-win. Because this is the most reflected take on what politics should be about I've heard from any politician, ever.

What's at Stake

Im curious how this narrative will develop. It would be worth a little more scrutiny. Perhaps one of the next days.
