I have a piece up at NRO on President Obama’s vacation reading, which I am pleased to report included Lou Cannon’s President Reagan: The Role of a Lifetime.  As I point out in the piece, Obama is not known for reading books by conservative authors, so the fact that he is reading something about a conservative figure does represent progress of a sort.  I suspect that he is doing so do learn something about the Great Communicator's style, but let's hope that some of the Gipper's policy instincts rub off as well.

Meh. I'd be more pleased to hear he was reading this.

 He's studdying effectiveness in the face of a Congress that is steadily tilting away from him.  Unlike Reagan, he won't have to leap both Congress and the media.
