First the economy, then substance, then (if at all) process: that’s a pretty good bullet-point summary of what to look for if you’re trying to make sense of where the president stands. Too often it’s forgotten, so it’s good to see a few journalists remembering—and writing—the obvious.

The weirdest contribution was that of ousted Gov. Davis, who urged something called the 'Calfiornia way' on Pres. Obama. The unemployment rate in California in June was 12.3%, and the state is in a perennial crisis of budgetary dysfunction. Apparently you cannot be laughed out of 'respectable' MSM opinion as long as you keep the ideological faith of stalwart Democratic liberalism.
