Goodman on Obama Clinging to Civility

(Community Matters) I don’t remember who with, but just this week I was having a conversation about his commitment to changing how Washington works. Unlike 43’s which evidently was simply a line in a speech, I believe our president not only means it, one of his success metrics no doubt measures this.

While I don’t have access to the dashboard the president uses to monitor daily progress, I have been in many rooms with his top advisors and every single one of them have stressed the importance of changing how business is done in Washington. I also liked hearing President Obama in his speech last week clarify how he’s not going to be distracted by those simply intent on derailing or stalling legislation.
