Obama is looking good because he kept his nerve and retained his restraint. That's a tough combo: nerve and restraint. It takes a cold-bloodedness to pull this off, and there are times when ice seems to run through the man's veins.

[Bush Hating] undermines the good faith necessary for democratic discussion. Which is a large part of what people like Al Franken are all about.
Andrew Sullivan
No American should be forced to choose between their spouse and their country.
Andrew Sullivan
I'm not one of these people who thinks everybody's gay.
Andrew Sullivan
I think if someone is writing continuously for 10 years and has not changed their mind about something - there's something wrong with them. They're not really thinking.
Andrew Sullivan
I think of these imperial adventures like welfare programs you start them with all good intentions, they never end, they go on forever and get more expensive as they go on.
Andrew Sullivan
When Bush says that Abu Ghraib was the work of a few, he forgot to mention that he was one of them.
Andrew Sullivan

I like the pluralism of modernity it doesn't threaten me or my faith. And if one's faith is dependent on being reinforced in every aspect of other people's lives, then it is a rather insecure faith, don't you think?
Andrew Sullivan
What modernity requires is not that you cease living according to your faith, but that you accept that others may differ and that therefore politics requires a form of discourse that is reasonable and accessible to believer and non-believer alike. This religious restraint in politics is critical to the maintenance of liberal democracy.
Andrew Sullivan
I'm not going to sit around an pretend I'm not thinking things on my blog when I am thinking them and when I'm open to rebuttal.
Andrew Sullivan
How can you tell when a political ideology has become the equivalent of a religion?
Andrew Sullivan
Leftists would like to pretend that any criticism of their views raises the specter of domestic repression. But in a country with a First Amendment, no suppression from government is likely, and in the citadels of the media and the academy, the far left is actually vastly overrepresented.
Andrew Sullivan
When you fuse Christianity with power, it isn't long before Christians start imposing the cross on others rather than taking it up for themselves.
Andrew Sullivan
When I was about eight, I asked my mother if it was true that God knows everything about you. When she answered yes, I said, Then there's no hope for me, Mum.
Andrew Sullivan
My father has been a rock for me every since.

The essence of romantic love is not the company of a lover but the pursuit.
Andrew Sullivan
Even if it's deep unhappiness, it's your unhappiness.
