Obama set goals for himself and his administration before he had
assumed office, as all presidents have done.  I don't see this system
changing soon.  I made all sorts of plans and promises about what sort
of father and husband I would be, but I wasn't able to pull them all
off.  No one was surprised, except for perhaps my naive self.

Sensibly, no one equated my failure with bad behavior, nor should we
equate Obama's failures with bad behavior, at least until enough time
has elapsed that it becomes obvious his actions have betrayed our
faith.

It is perfectly reasonable to laud good behavior while temporarily
suspending judgment on bad, which is what Tom has done.
