Whether it was a good deal or not, I think Krauthammer's absolutely right that Obama is much better off politically now than he would have been had it failed.

Well, yes.... but apparently it's no longer acceptable to look at political topics objectively. Much better to judge what people say based on ad hominem or its opposite.

I respect Krauthammer, but he is one of the “blue bloods”.
Try this analogy:
Let’s say Krauthammer had irrefutable evidence that little green men visit the Earth on a regular basis.
There is no scenario imaginable in which he would share that information with anyone for fear his reputation would be tarnished, NO MATTER how ironclad his evidence.
