Turning the page: Obama, Iraq, and America

Marc Ambinder has a great annotation of President Obama's Oval Office address on the end of combat operations in Iraq. Worth a read. And worth watching. As a summer of mosque controversies, deepwater disasters, and bleak economic news comes to an end, even I have to admit to a bit of Obama fatigue and political indifference. Watching the president tonight... helped me to turn the page a bit on all of that.

I know tomorrow will offer more of the same as yesterday. But if we remember that ten years ago we all had different outlooks on the world than we now hold, we can hope that after another decade we'll be at a place that feels better than where we stand today.
