Dear Nation Friend:
I'll admit it: a year ago at this time, we expected more.
Barack Obama's election marked a remarkable moment in our country's history -- a milestone in America's scarred racial landscape, a victory for the forces of decency, diversity and tolerance, and an end to eight years of destructive, swaggering unilateralism.
A year later, it's clear we're a ways from reshaping the prevailing order of our politics and economy. That will take more than one election. And in this winter of discontent, I could dwell on the disappointments. I am sure you have your list. At the top of mine is Obama's decision to escalate the war in Afghanistan, squandering funds needed to rebuild and renew our country.
I believe that Obama is ahead of where Reagan was at this time. I expect we'll see similar results in 2012. Morning in America all over again, baby!
