As it happens, Liza's just reading this article in the paper now (as I did earlier). I remember I felt better about BHO while reading it, but later couldn't remember much of what he'd said. Liza just pointed out that in this piece, Leonhardt puts Obama to the left of Hillary, but a similar piece on Hillary a week or two ago put her to the left of Obama. Is Leonhardt something of a roundheels?
