Noonan on the Baier Interview

Peggy Noonan, writing for The Wall Street Journal, finds much to approve of in Bret Baier's interview of President Obama. She notes:
Mr. Baier pressed the president on his statement as a candidate for the presidency that a 50-plus-one governing mentality is inherently divisive. "You can't govern" that way, Sen. Obama had said. Is the president governing that way now? Mr. Obama did not really answer.
Noonan concludes:
Memo to future presidents: Never stake your entire survival on the painful passing of a bad bill.
