I fear that Barack Obama has a streak of inner passivity and doesn't know it. If so, his futile quest for compromise and bipartisanship is a consequence and a cover-up of his passivity. It means he's ultimately intimidated by the GOP's primitive tactic of using vehement irrationality to feel and express power. My view is that we can't count on anyone but ourselves. And that's fine--it's all we need.
