If the campaign was about hope, and the early presidency was about change, increasingly the administration has settled into a kind of normalcy in which it accommodates itself to Washington far more than Washington accommodates itself to Obama. That\u2019s not necessarily a bad thing when the result is a bipartisan schmooze-fest at the Jefferson Hotel.
