Manning Up to Pass Healthcare, Etc.

Joe Queenan defends Obama from the angry left-wing chattering class.

I for one am sick of reading the "Man Up, Barack" editorial, which is then regurgitated by friends and neighbors as if they were the sole authors of this retread banality. Invariably, the person suggesting that Mr. Obama man up thinks of himself as a tough-as-nails hombre. In reality, they are usually the kinds of people who send their kids to Oberlin College, swoon over Andrea Bocelli, and think Jimmy Carter was a macho man. Teamsters they are not.

So who is going to defend him from the angry right-wing chattering class?
