In discussing Barack Obama's do-nothing, Jimmy Carter-esque approach to energy policy, Jennifer Rubin at Contentions noted that this ideological torpor is at odds with the Junior Senator's usual willingness to promote new ideas. While I am big fan of Ms. Rubin's, I have to take issue with her characterization of Obama. Sure, the Apostle of Hope-Change speaks generally about his plans for America. Yet, throughout this long campaign season, I have been struck by Obama's lack of specific "big ideas" for transforming the country. Am I missing something?
