“ I believe that while a good politician accomplishes what is possible, a great one expands the realm of possibility. He doesn’t simply accept the lines of argument as they’re drawn and hew to the side with the most soldiers, he tries to redraw those lines to benefit his ideals. Obama’s jobs isn’t simply to spend his own political capital, it’s to grow his capital, and by extension, the moral weight of his ideals. Perhaps pushing torture investigations would make passing health care harder. But this is the business he chose. This is the business of becoming great. „
