Policy Matters

By Ross Douthat

Whatever you think of No Child Left Behind - and I'm decidedly agnostic - it's probably not a coincidence that the domestic-policy issue where this President seemed to be most engaged with policy detail may also turn out to be the only domestic-policy issue where he leaves a somewhat successful legacy behind.

Although to be fair, you could argue that he's been deeply engaged on immigration "reform" as well - or at least he seems to care about it in the same visceral way he cared about passing education reform - and that may turn out, well, rather less well.
