Very good article on the budget debate.

We must turn back the conservative view that government is the enemy into a demand for government to reinvest in its own people.

Obama may be leaning against the right-wing juggernaut, but he is not changing its direction, only slightly blunting its force. He has already given in where it counts by agreeing with the Republicans in August to slash the core of the discretionary civilian budget.
