One final, optimistic point in this glowing article:

It is likely the legislative schedule of 2010 will demonstrate that no president in recent history has had so many major legislative achievements, and that will be due to Obama's insisting that principled policy-making move forward, even where compromises need to be made with ideological opponents, all in the interests of progress.

Talking points for this: "pragmatic progressivism."
