Not saying I wouldn’t vote for Ron Paul if he ran as a third-party candidate, but this article from Andrew Sullivan sums up the relative good Obama has been able to accomplish as President thus far. Sure, he has made his share of errors (unbridled war, ignoring the debt commission, the Defense Authorization Act, bending over for Israel), but most Presidents have mistakes on their records exceeding his. “Better than Bush” is not inspiring, but it’s the right place to be.
