This op/ed by Drew Westen is like a gut-punch to those of us who have seen the Obama presidency lose its way over the past two years. What happened, indeed. A congenital lack of spine? A clueless naivety? Would that Drew Westen had been Obama's political adviser instead of David Quackselrod or David "Poof" Plouffe during times that called for a Great Champion rather than a Great Compromiser (if by "compromise" you mean giving the hostage-takers "98%" of what they wanted).
