From David Brooks’ New York Times column today:
Obama is the one insistently calling on audiences to serve a cause greater than self-interest. He’s the one transcending partisanship and telling young people that politics can be the means to a meaningful, purpose-driven life.
Regardless of whether Brooks has gotten Obama right (how, exactly, is he transcending partisanship?), somehow I don’t think politics was what Rick Warren had in mind . . .
