| Message to Obama: "You've got to be a thermostat rather than a thermometer" |
|
"A thermostat shapes the climate of opinion; a thermometer just reflects it. If you're just going to reflect it and run by the polls, then you're not going to be a transformative president. Lincoln was a thermostat, FDR too."
Cornel West, in the Sunday NY Times Magazine, 7/24/11

You're no thermostat, Obama, but that was decided according to your preference or inclination.
There are only two kinds of thermometer. Pick one.
