STATELINE, Nev. — Former Vice President Dan Quayle gives President Barack Obama high marks for surrounding himself with quality advisers on national security and the economy. But he says it’s not yet clear whether Obama’s administration will govern more liberally than he campaigned.
“I think his biggest challenge is to tame the left wing of his party,” Quayle said in an interview with The Associated Press at Lake Tahoe. “I guess we’ll find out how ‘left’ Obama really is because he’s going to have to make some very tough decisions.” On the GOP, Quayle said, “We’re the out party now. We just need to focus on these congressional elections. I think (House Speaker Nancy) Pelosi and (Senate Majority Leader Harry) Reid will help us in that endeavor.” The Associated Press
