A New Appelbaum on the New Obama

Of course, the “old” one was an “Applebaum,” not an “Appelbaum.”
But the new one’s from the Boston Globe.
A link to Mr. Appelbaum’s report on Obama’s accomplishments has been added to that continually-growing post.
Geraghty (to whom an h/t is due for this one), writes regarding Appelbaum’s piece:
It’s easy to wonder whether the candidate who talks about “real change” and pledges a government that will “heal the sick” and “stop the oceans from rising” actually knows how to get big things done – or whether he had the patience. Obama would seem to have the skills and brains to be a legendary community organizer, or state legislator, or U.S. senator. But momentous accomplishments in each of those positions take time, and at each level, Obama hit a wall, and turned his attention to a position of greater power.
