Wow, someone is writing about governing, not umbrellas. @ezraklein's helpful piece on Obama's budget choices.  http://m.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2013/05/18/five-takeaways-from-the-cbos-analysis-of-obamas-budget/ …

Seriously: OK #Obama is supposed to lead. His compromises are rejected. Is he supposed to keep compromising until he gives away everything?

From @jonathanchait in @nymag: Obama leading, his lead is not declining, perception Romney is pulling ahead is GOP spin http://t.co/CmISkJNh

Yes, there is an Obama second term agenda. Here's my column describing it. Would his being more explicit about it help?  http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/ej-dionne-the-not-so-hidden-obama-agenda/2012/10/21/a4280792-1ba4-11e2-9cd5-b55c38388962_story.html?hpid=z11 …
