Dowd on Obama & Dems = Advice For Iggy & LPC on Parliamentary Democracy

Hail the Conquering Professor has the following advice for Iggy & LPC re. making Harper & Cons submit to Parliament, the will of the majority of Canadians: "But at long last, when push came to shove, he shoved (and let Nancy push). He treated politics not as an intellectual exercise, but a political one. He realized that sometimes you can’t rise above it. You have to sink down into it. You have to stop being cerebral and get your hands dirty. You can fight fear with power. The Chicago pol in the Oval has had to learn one of the great American universal (ed.) truths: You’ve got to slap the bully in the face."

Given the Govt's self-admitted "fulsome" behaviour this advice is as on target and of the moment as can be.

NB. fulsome
