Juan Williams sniffed at Barack Obama’s pretense of post-partisanship
last night on Fox News. Williams called it “wishful thinking” and based
on nothing but talk. Williams did note that one presidential candidate
does have a record of taking risks to find bipartisan solutions — but
it’s not the one who voted with his party’s leadership 97% of the time
In fact, does anyone know where this notion of Barack Obama as a great
post-partisan healer arose? In his brief stroll across the political
stage, Obama has never taken a risk by standing up to the vested
interests of his party or the Chicago political machine. He has done
nothing to press the unions, lawyers, abortion lobby, or any of the
other struts in the Democratic Party for moderation or reform.
