Needed: a change of archetypes

Washington Rebel linked to this piece in the Wall Street Journal by Shelby Steele, whom I always find to be hitting the nail on its head. This piece is no different. This election, according to Steele, is a referendum on president-as-redeemer. For Obama to pivot back to the center, as Bill Clinton did after the 1994 elections, he will have to do no less than change archetypes.

He won't do it. It's not in his nature. I have to say we finally get a guy in office who does what he wants and full steam ahead and he's polar opposite of what I want. Maybe our prayers should be way more specific.
