"The solution isn’t for the president to cut deals -- any deals -- just to show he can do business."

That's a total misreading of Obama's post-election news conference, which I listened to. Obama made no such promises, predictions, or suggestions. He simply said he was going to listen to what the country's newly elected government has to say. For Warren to score points in this way, which is about all I ever read about her doing on DU, strikes me as poor strategy if she's running for national office, as this op-ed strongly suggests she is.

JMHO, YMMV.
