well, i m going to separate style and substance here. what progressives want to see most of all is the fight. they want to have this hand-to-hand combat with republicans. they don t think the president has really stepped up, until late in the year, so they want to see something that he s not that comfortable doing unless he s in a campaign setting. of course, we ll be heading into that campaign so they may get more of the fight they re looking for. i suspect he may be treading that middle ground and looking for bipartisan angles, so they may be disappointed on that front. but on the substance, look for him to actually deal with two things and maybe make some progress on at least one of them, energy and climate change. on the climate change thing, of course republicans are not going to be there. he s going to have to use executive authority. but on energy, there is room for a deal. the president wants to go for it. the second thing, immigration reform. he s not going to get anywhere w ....
