TNC isn't buying it:
[Andrew] notes that [the spending freeze is] largely a symbolic measure, but has faith that Obama will eventually move to the hard choices around defense and entitlement. I don't know. I think the way Obama has evidently decided to fold on health-care leaves me with little faith that he'll actually do the hard work.
It is, potentially, like this with all presidents. And I heard his point the other day about being happy with serving as a great one-termer. But I'm struggling to understand what he deeply, truly believes in.
