"No, what you all seem to really want is capitulation. The president leads. He sets a course; he puts forth reasonable positions that are well thought out. What he doesn't do is completely capitulate to Republican positions and that pisses you all off. You need to study what good leaders do. They do not adopt the minority positions. Study your fucking history books, people."
E.J. Dionne, Washington Post columnist
