Perhaps he believes in the policies he follows. He got what he wanted from the Republican opposition. I don't know what "averting eyes" from history means. History is whatever happens -- not some ideal of human happiness. It seems to me that in terms of policy objectives, the Obama administration is/will be as successful as the Bush Administration. That is not intended as irony. One measures the success of a policy in terms of the aims of those making it. Bush and now Obama have certinly beaten the left liberals who are weping so.
