May I be as so bold to say Democrats are not interested in an Empirical Presidency. I suppose Mr. Milbank can insult President Obama as 'out of touch,' but, that is President Obama's governing style.

President Passerby (click here) needs urgently to become a participant in his presidency.
Late Monday came the breathtaking news of a full-frontal assault on the First Amendment by his administration: word that the Justice Department had gone on a fishing expedition through months of phone records of Associated Press reporters....

I don't find him out of touch at all. He is not colluding in any way with any of the government departments as did Mr. Cheney. I find solace in that. He isn't interested in an agenda so much as bringing the USA back from a dysfunctional economy.
President Obama loves this country and believes in it's people. He doesn't seek to reward corporations for outsourcing American jobs. He understands the poor and disenfranchised and his administration shows it.
President Obama places qualified professionals in positions of power within his administration, something Republicans aren't familiar with. He expects everyone to do their job. This cabinet is not lined with yes men or women, something Cheney would abhor.
If he was as surprised at the rest of the nation at an IRS reacting to the overwhelming reality of an illegal and immoral Karl Rove, that only proves he expects the best of all of us. I mean the folks at the IRS are Americans expected to do a job and do it well.
President Obama has made statements of FREEDOM, something Americans have forgotten about with the last administration. He has stated things like, "...returning science to it's rightful place..." when he FREED stem cell research from OPPRESSIVE and ANTIQUATED standards.
When he bravely broke down barriers for the growth of alternative energies he stated, "We must not be prisoners of the past. Don't believe the misinformation out there that suggests there is somehow a contradiction between investing in clean energy and economic growth. It's just not true."
In case Mr. Milbanks doesn't recognize it, that is FREEDOM. His policies are about removing barriers to success and not adhering to ideologies. For decades the alternative energy sector has been oppressed by Republicans pledging allegiance to the petroleum industry.
President Obama is unafraid, something else the rigidity of ideology brings. Fear. Fear has dominated the previous administration. President Obama is not afraid of the truth or the facts. He confronts issues with importance and brevity, not nonsense and mind speak or political rhetoric.
So, for those that believe President Obama's spontaneity is laughable as if he is playing the politics of charismatic avoidance, then their thinking is polluted with all kinds of shoulds and shouldn'ts. Gratefully, President Obama is not interested in should or should not, but, more so in 'what are the facts.'
