Obama has spent more money on new programs in nine months than Bill Clinton did in eight years, pushing the annual deficit to $1.4 trillion. This leaves little room for big spending initiatives.
If you really pay attention to what this administration is doing, they are finding out what the people are concerned about and pretending that they care also. This is just for re-election purposes and nothing else.
"The way in which cynical and amnesiac Republicans have tried to portray this as classic big government liberalism is a lie. You can debate the merits of each initiative, but this is obviously not an administration as fiscally reckless as the last one. Mercifully, they have a chance to show it in earnest next year. And to call the bluff of those Republicans yelling about spending while having absolutely no plans or ideas for cutting it."

That is because Obama is an excellent campaigner. Actually doing the daily stuff associated with governing, a bit more challenging.
Please, Corzine was so bad, my dog could have gotten elected in New Jersey.
Yes, but Christie was fat. A typically elegant Democrat argument.

And, Mr. Sullivan's argument does amount to more than just 'Bush was bad', despite the infallibility of that argument.
Infallible, but hopelessly historical. And thus part and parcel of Mr. Sullivan's usual onanistic argumentation.
