We’ve slowly been replacing governance with a continual campaign mentality. This allows incumbents (even lame ducks) to help their party hold power, as if that’s an end in itself. Gone almost entirely is the idea that I have this job for four years and I’ll do the best job I can until my time is up. Obama is unfortunately furthering this trend.

seems like the “power” is different too. Used to be the power to get things done. Now its the power to stop the other guy from getting anything done. Stupid.
