Democrats ditch the details to focus on power

In the two major policy initiatives of the president and the majority party -- universal health insurance and a limit on carbon emissions -- details do not matter. In the Senate, Majority Leader Harry Reid is producing the legislative equivalent of a hobo stew as he tries to wring out the final few votes for the president's health plan.

Barack Obama is so last season

The magic is gone from President Barack Obama. He’s here, but the glamour has vanished. He still talks, but few people appear to be listening. Some time in spring, it began to be noticed (by Fred Barnes, among others) that he was losing the power to move people, or shape their opinions.
