Some of us think this is *the* most relevant strength of Clinton’s candidacy, given what the next (presumably Democratic) president is going to face in office from the anti-change forces. We aren’t convinced Obama has the stamina to overcome these forces; we don’t think he realizes how powerful their assault is going to be. We don’t think he’s prepared to do what will be required, and we doubt he has what it takes to summon from within himself the ability to do it.
In a sense, these may be admirable facets of his character. The question is whether we can afford to put him in the lions’ den.
The campaign is putting that to the test, as it should.
