Another Obama compromise? ‘Leftists, get over it!’

President Obama’s role in the debt ceiling compromise is prompting howls of criticism and scorn from some Americans, especially those on the left.  They’re complaining that the president sold out to Republicans, who are crowing about their victory.  Jim Warren, columnist for  Chicago News Cooperative  and our partner  The New York Times,  and national correspondent for  The Atlantic, has a simple message for the president’s critics: get over it. Warren argues that since his days as a community organizer, Obama has always favored pragmatic deal-making over partisan point-scoring.
