So far, I haven’t seen anything from the Obama administration that comes anywhere close to my most modest, conservative expectations for policy change.

Marco, out of curiosity, what “modest, conservative expectations for policy change” are you looking for? While there hasn’t been a lot of sweeping, dramatic policy change, it’s hard to think of an area where there hasn’t been some significant progress.
The far left isn’t satisfied. That’s sort of its job. And it’s also its job to insist that nothing has changed until it gets everything it wants. But that doesn’t mean you should believe it. Can you name a single large area where there haven’t been significant policy changes in the last ten months? I’m certainly not going to claim that everything I would like has happened—but let’s not pretend that there’s nothing to be excited about. It’s hardly fair to blame Obama for our inattentiveness.
