"Congress offers change without change -- a green economy built on 
cheap coal and petrol; a healthcare transformation that asks nobody 
to pay more taxes or behave any differently -- because that is what 
voters want.

"Is it too much to ask that Mr Obama should tell voters the truth? I

president. He is choosing to be a weak one."

Clive Crook. "Obama is choosing to be a weak president." Financial
