Yesterday, Ruth Marcus had a great op-ed about the political, and cultural, divergence between Democratic activists inside the Beltway and Democratic voters outside the Beltway. It is clearly part of this White House's calculation that they must side with the inside-the-Beltway crowd if only to guarantee strong fundraising numbers but that, at times, as in the recent controversy over religious liberty, that calculation hits a bump.

And, this morning, E.J. Dionne has a great op-ed on the continuing slander thrown at President Obama that he is somehow un-American. This abuse, sadly, often comes from religious leaders, most recently Rev. Franklin Graham. Even those religious leaders who oppose certain policies the president has proposed should be mindful of their rhetoric lest they feed this hatefulness that is itself quite un-American.
