The Change They Believed In   [Mark Steyn]

Jonah, re the President's remarks on "ideological rigidity", I found myself thinking of the ideologically flexible, of whom there were many on our side of the aisle back in the fall:

President Obama will (I pray, secularly) surely understand that traditional left-politics aren’t going to get us out of this pit we’ve dug for ourselves.

—Christopher Buckley

I sure hope Obama is more open, centrist, sensible—dare I say, Clintonesque—than his liberal record indicates, than his cooperation with Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid portends.

—Ken Adelman

He needs to stick up more vigorously for free trade...

-  Boris Johnson, Mayor of London

So how's that working out?
