His immunity sell-out is an example of triangulation. It's something that has made me sick of people like the clintons. If he won't stand up for justice and the Constitution at this time in history, he's going to have a helluva time raising money this Summer and Fall. There's still time for him to turn around his position without looking bad.
But if he proves to be too clinton-esque in attacking our nation's problems over the next 4 years, the 2012 primary could take him the same path as Carter.... which would be sad, because I think Carter's hindsight lesson is to have been stronger during his term in dealing with injustices - for example, he could have stopped stroking the shah of Iran.
Going out of your way to avoid rocking the boat doesn't guarantee you a smooth, capsize-free ride. Obama should heed history's lessons or be doomed to repeat them.
