Writing on the op-ed page of The Wall Street Journal today, Rove, normally a staunch partisan and Republican loyalist, declared, "Mr. Obama deserves re-election for restoring America to prosperity after a recession." Further enumerating his accomplishments, Rove added, "Mr. Obama ended the Iraq War and...Osama bin Laden was killed on his watch." It was the surprise of the political season, but maybe it shouldn't have been.
